The 1946 shilling is the only silver coin struck for circulation by the Perth Mint. After assisting the war effort by producing copper pennies and halfpennies from 1940, the Commonwealth Treasury sought to give the Perth Mint experience in working with silver. As a result, shillings were minted in Perth in 1946. However, the experience was short-lived and, once more, copper coins only, were produced in Perth.
