Comments

Of the coins dated 1967, 65,200,000 were minted in 1967 and 10,264,000 were minted in 1968.
Of the coins dated 1968, 54,536,000 were minted in 1968 and 20,000,000 were minted in 1969.

The coin was designed by Geoffrey Colley and you can find the engraving "GC" on the obverse of the coin in this series, under the Parliament building. However, there are also coins that do not have the GC engraving due to the problem of the coin die (a tool for minting coins) being blocked.
