| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, modelled by Thomas Hugh Paget, occupying the central field of the coin. The king's shoulders are lightly draped and the portrait is rendered in a restrained, naturalistic style typical of mid-20th century British Commonwealth coinage. A continuous Latin legend runs around the periphery, separated from the effigy by a beaded inner border. The inscription reads GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP, abbreviated from the full royal titles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Australia's shift to .500 fine silver for the threepence came in 1944, forced by wartime metal pressures and a Commonwealth-wide decision to halve the silver content of subsidiary coinage. The 1947–1948 dates fall in the postwar adjustment period, when the Royal Australian Mint in Melbourne was still working through the consequences of that policy while mint output from the Perth and Sydney branches fluctuated with workforce reconversion.
George VI's health was deteriorating sharply by 1948, and the coinage dies for this period were already being quietly evaluated for a successor portrait.
