Description

The Obverse of the coin shows the bare (uncrowned) head of King George VI facing left.

Three ears of wheat held by a curved ribbon. Around above, 'AUSTRALIA'; around below, divided into two by the stalks of the wheat, the denomination 'THREE PENCE'; above, across the middle of the coin the date '1942' divided into two by the ears.

The reverse of this first type of Australian threepence coins features the 1908 Coat of Arms. In 1938, a new design superseded this one - featuring three stalks of grain; the old type of coins remained in circulation.
