My silver stacking journey has begun!

Now I have been interested in silver stacking as an investment for a while now and today my stacking journey has begun.

Now this is off to a very small start and as time goes by, I might blur the line of stacking and collecting...

But without further ado, here is my first 50% silver coin - a 1955 Australia sixpence.

The reverse has the Australian coat of arms featuring a kangaroo and emu with a shield and a star above it.

The Australian coat of arms has two iconic Australian animals and these animals are known to not be able to move backwards which is an interesting fact. So this represents Australia always moving forward.

On the obverse side there is a picture of a young queen Elizabeth II with the words "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F:D:"
Which translates from Latin to "by the grace of God,Queen"

The diameter of this coin is 19mm and weighs in at 2.83 grams.

It's not much but it's a start!!
