Royal Australian Mint- A Look Back at the Australian Penny

In 2021, the Royal Australian Mint is commemorating the 110th Anniversary of the introduction of the Australian Penny with this unique 2021 $1 Copper Two-Coin Set.
Each coin is reminiscent of Australia’s original pennies in design, size, and color, with one featuring a simple text design and the other a bounding kangaroo. The obverse of each coin features the first effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to appear on Australian coins.
In circulation from 1911 through to 1966 with the introduction of decimal currency, Australian pennies are a much-coveted coin and this set recognizes their importance in Australia’s currency history.

Graham? I am a little confused about something you mentioned in this video.
You mentioned that in 1956 it was the first year they used Queen Elizabeth II's Effigy, yet I have two 1953's and two 1955's with Queen Elizabeth II's effigy on them? As Pauline Hanson would say Please Explain!
