 | George VI - 1937 - 1952
In 1947 the metal used to make the sixpence was changed to cupro-nickel. No sixpence minted after this date contains any silver. Due to the relatively recent manufacture of these coins collectors seek to purchase them in mint condition.
During the reign of George VI Wallace Carothers invented Nylon (1937), the first Volkswagon Beetle was made (1938), World War 2 started (1939), Apartheid began in South Africa (1948).
