| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a central decorative motif inspired by the carved discoidal stone heads of traditional Melanesian war clubs, rendered in a stylised, flower-like pattern encircling the central hole. The design is characteristic of George Kruger Gray's incorporation of indigenous Pacific artistic elements into the coinage of the Territory of New Guinea. The legend TERRITORY·OF·NEW·GUINEA encircles the upper portion of the field, while ·6·PENCE·1935· appears along the lower arc, all within a beaded inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
New Guinea's coinage was administered under Australian mandate following Germany's expulsion from the territory after World War I, with the distinctive local series introduced in 1929 specifically for the Territory of New Guinea rather than circulating standard Australian issues. The series is notable for featuring a bird of paradise — though production was handled by the King's Norton Metal Company in Birmingham, not an Australian mint.
The 1935 date falls within the final years of George V's reign, and this denomination saw limited but genuine circulation in a territory where cash transactions were still being introduced to much of the indigenous population.
