These however are noted. There are a number of post-war counterfeit coins, but only two pre-war counterfeit coins are known, the 1933 half-crown and the 1935 shilling. There is no specific reference to the 1933 .500 silver 6d, other than its mintage – 3,000,000 – and that an uncirculated specimen would sell in 1971 for US$ 8,25, or $3,25 in EF[/QUOTE]
