Notes:

The PL mintmark is an abbreviation of the Latin term Pecunia Londinii which translates as Money of London. An alternate Latin phrase, Percussa Londinio, which translates as Struck at London, is also acceptable.

A limited issue proof version of the 1951 PL sixpence was released as part of a 4 coin proof set.
