Australian coins minted from 1953 onwards feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, as the current monarch of the British empire.

The last predecimal coins were minted in Australia in 1964, prior to Australia's conversion to decimal currency in 1966.

The halfpenny retained the 'Kangaroo' reverse throughout this period.

Higher mintages and higher survival rates result in relatively low value of QEII coins, although they are still sought after in higher grades.

Dates not minted:

1956, 1957, 1958
