Ascension, 50 Pence (EIIR Initials) 1953-2002 Proof

In 2005 the Royal Mint issued a commemorative 50 Pence to honour the 250th anniversary of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language. Without this momentous work, we wouldn’t know what a lot of words mean today. You have a series of words on one side with the inscription ‘Johnson’s Dictionary 1755’. The other side has a portrait of H.M. the Queen and this coin is struck in Proof Sterling Silver. This is also a coin that is missing from many collections, especially in Silver. We believe our price for this older and very important commemorative coin, is less than what the Royal Mint will be charging for this year’s commemorative. Supplies are limited...

Well yes, this is one of the last silver threepences, but they are not from this country. They were issued under Queen Elizabeth II in Australia and they have her portrait on the coins. This 1961 Threepence coin was actually made to be used in everyday transactions. All coins are in selected circulated condition, we will give you the best quality coin in stock when your order is made.
