| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boldly modeled three-quarter frontal head of a Merino ram occupies the central field, its large curved horns rendered in high relief against a plain background, enclosed within a recessed oval cartouche. The design, engraved by George Kruger Gray with his initials KG visible to the right of the ram's head, is flanked by two six-pointed stars at mid-field. The legend AUSTRALIA arches across the upper periphery, while SHILLING and the date are inscribed along the lower arc, all separated from the rim by a toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Australia's wartime shillings present a specific production anomaly worth noting: from 1942 onward, the Melbourne Mint struggled with silver supply disruptions as strategic materials were redirected, and striking quality across the series became inconsistent year to year. The 1945 issue in particular is known for uneven planchet preparation.
George VI's Australian coinage also carried the modified obverse from 1938 dropping "IND:IMP" — Emperor of India — years before India's actual independence, a title George VI would formally relinquish only in 1948.
