Edward I, Penny (Bristol Mint) Fine

The reign of King William IV was rather short 1830-1837. The smallest coin that was regularly issued for circulation was the copper Farthing and that was only made in 1831, 1834, 1835, 1836 and 1837. Because it was the smallest denomination it was used every day and the examples you usually see are in well worn condition. This little group is rather outstanding in that all the coins are in Very Fine condition, much better than they usually come. Dates will be of our choice, but the coins are in Very Fine condition a nice collectors grade. They are coming on to being almost 200 years old and come from a very short reign. Nice copper coins and well above average condition.

King George II ruled from 1727 until 1760. During that time they issued two different busts of the King. They are known as the Young Head and the Old Head, but don’t tell the King that. The smallest denomination issued for this Monarch was the Farthing, 4 farthings to the penny and 240 pennies to the Pound. These Old Head coins are almost 300 years old and are in Fine condition, being the smallest denomination they saw considerable circulation and usage. Dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.

We are offering the very last One Cent minted for the Colony of East Africa. In 1959 the Kings Norton Mint in Birmingham struck their last One Cent for the Colony of East Africa. Fewer and fewer former British Colonies are issuing coins with the name or portrait of British Monarchs on them. This 1959 One Cent was the last that would carry the KN mint mark. We have a small quantity in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Much underappreciated and almost impossible to find today.
