New Guinea Shilling 1935 to 1945

New Guinea, the second largest island in the world (Greenland is first), just north of Australia, was under British rule during the time between the World Wars. These one shilling coins are made of 0.16 troy ounces of silver, and that gives them a basic value even if in poor condition. In better condition, the catalogs quote values like this:

average circulated: $5
well preserved: $8
fully uncirculated: $10
