I have posted this on a couple of other forums and as yet no one has the answer,

 

What date was the last circulating coin or bank note with the effigy of George VI??

[jtryka]

I would guess 1952, but there have been a lot of retro design coins lately (Australia, Canada) featuing earlier monarchs, but I don't think any of those were meant to circulate.

[cartwheel-migration]

It is not a retro item.

You're welcome. Is it a good buy at US $80? Is 1960 the latest date for a King George VI currency effigy?

My 5 shilling note is from 1957

[$ilverHawk]

OK. The Jamaica 5 Shilling note offered on eBay bearing the likeness of King George VI is 1960. Did you check the listing?

 

If you have a 1957 note and I have shown you a 1960 note what is the correct reply to your original question?
