As the first coins of Queen Elizabeth II were only issued in 1953, this 1955 Florin is one of the earliest and first coins to have been issued. It is also one of the most difficult coins to find, especially in Uncirculated condition. After all the coins are now 67 years old and 1955 a Florin or two shillings was a week’s pocket money for a youngster. This is a nice group and a difficult coin to find in this unused quality. Supplies are very limited and this is one date that many collectors need.

At the end of the pre-decimal series, many of the dates are difficult to get in Uncirculated condition. This 1963 Florin is no exception, after all the Florin is the most difficult denomination to get in Uncirculated. These were put away at the time they were issued, which is now 55 years ago. Queen Elizabeth II coins are much underappreciated, especially when you are looking for them. Limited supplies.

The pre-decimal coinage of Queen Elizabeth II dated 1964 has always been difficult to get. Here we offer the 1964 Florin in Brilliant Unc. Supplies are limited in for a number of coins.

We have been offering the difficult to find 1964 Halfcrown in Uncirculated, which we bought in New Zealand. Now we have bought a small group of the 1964 Florin in Uncirculated which is much rarer than the Halfcrown. These coins were found in this country not 12,000 miles away. A very small number are available and these are Difficult to find. The 1964 Florin in Uncirculated is not a coin that you will find everyday, because the Florin is the most difficult denomination to find. While they last you can own one for just £8.95 but supplies are very limited.

The last Florin issued for circulation was in 1967, the first year of issue was only 1849, so it is a short lived denomination. Also as a denomination the Florin has always been the most difficult one to get. I have some nice Uncirculated Queen Elizabeth II 1966 Florins. This the penultimate year of the whole denomination. Not easy to get, yet it is not an expensive coin.

Elizabeth II, The Last 1967 Florin. Brilliant Uncirculated. In 1967 the Royal Mint issued its last ever Florin for circulation. Although it had an exact decimal equivalent, the 10p, they decided to stop making them. As most collectors know the florin is the most difficult of the denominations to get. We can offer the last ever, the 1967 Florin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition for just £4.00. At one time a number of years ago, we had to pay that price to get them. But a fortunate find, in our basement, allows us to offer them to you. Limit of three coins per collector and well worth having.

The 1962 Halfcrown has always been one of the most difficult to buy in uncirculated condition. After all the last halfcrown issued for use was only dated 1967. It is the largest denomination issued by Queen Elizabeth II for daily usage– Two Shillings and Sixpence. These 1962 Halfcrowns are in Uncirculated and difficult to find, if 1962 is special to you, then it would make a great gift.

The 1964 Halfcrown has always been one of the most difficult to get in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Even at the time of issue, it was not an easy coin to find in top grade. If you are missing this coin or you know someone born or married in 1964 then this coin would make a great gift. Supplies are limited, don’t miss out.

In the Elizabeth II pre-decimal series there are just some dates that stand out and for sure 1964 is one of them. Don’t forget by 1964 the Mint was cutting down on the number of coins they were issuing in preparation of Decimal Day. It was only in 1967 that they realised that they needed a lot more coins to satisfy the daily demand for day to day transactions. That is why the 1967 coinage is so readily available. We have now available the scarce 1964 Halfcrown issue which Ian found on a buying trip to New Zealand, most difficult to find. Offered in Uncirculated condition and very difficult to find these days. Supplies are, of course, limited.

In 1967 the last Halfcrown ever was struck for circulation. So the 1966 is the penultimate issue and in fact is many times harder to get in Uncirculated condition than the 1967 Halfcrown. We have nice Uncirculated examples of the scarcer 1966 Queen Elizabeth II Halfcrown to offer to our collectors. A lucky buy allowed us to offer them to you this issue. They are the largest in both size and denomination that was struck for circulation, after all the crowns really circulated in the 1960’s.

In 1967 the Royal Mint issued the last Halfcrown for circulation a denomination that had been going since the reign of King Edward VI. For those of you too young to remember, a Halfcrown was Two Shillings and Sixpence. These were the largest circulating coins issued at the time and had a decimal equivalent of 12.5p. They are dated 1967 and are in Uncirculated condition. At that time you felt lucky if you were given a Halfcrown at Christmas as a gift. On the front is the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and on the back is a crowned shield with E R at the sides with the denomination and the date.
