Not as rare as a 1959 penny

Sure that's not 1954 Mike ? My books show "one known". '59 isn't mentioned. 1961 was the first year proper of QEll pennies.

54 to 60 Mike. Deffo in 61. Just a few in 53 for special sets in plastic sleeves.
Possibly one other "one off" is a 52 half crown. Again, "one known" apparently.
