Comment
The 1965 coins were minted by the British Royal Mint but show the same Paris privy marks as the 1960 coins minted in Paris.Interesting fact
The 1 Bolívar coin from Venezuela, minted between 1960 and 1965, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.835), it weighs only 5 grams, making it one of the lightest silver coins in circulation at that time.
