The Halfgroat or Twopence was first introduced in the 14th Century under Edward III. Henry VIII was famous for debasing the silver in Britain’s coins, but Elizabeth made it her objective to raise it back to Sterling standard. For the first time, we’re delighted to offer you Elizabeth I Halfgroats as a feature. They feature Elizabeth facing left on the obverse with two pellets (for two pence) behind the bust and cross over a shield on the reverse. They were struck between 1560 and 1602 and are now up to 463 years old.
