No sixpences were minted in the years 1929 to 1933 so the 1934 coin was the first one issued in the nineteen thirties. It occurs in two documented varieties distinguished by the position and orientation of the numerals in the date. Both Dean¹and Clarke² describe these as wide and narrow date varieties but this is a simplification. Neither is scarce but the narrow date variety is probably the more common one.
