Elizabeth II 1952 - 2022

Most people think that the last pre-decimal coins struck for circulation were dated 1967, they would only be partly right. In fact most pre-decimal coins were last struck in 1967, that is except for the Shilling. The last Shilling struck for circulation was in 1966, they did not make any in 1967. They issued two different types of 1966 Shillings, the English reverse and the Scottish reverse. The coin on offer this issue is the Scottish 1966 Shilling in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, there were two different types of Shillings issued every year. One had a reverse with an English design and one had a reverse with a Scottish design. The Scottish designs are always the more difficult ones to find because they made less of them than the English reverse. This coin is now 60 years old and Uncirculated examples are very difficult to find. The Scottish reverse has a lion standing and is rather majestic. The coins are in Uncirculated condition and more difficult to find than the catalogue indicates.

Anice example of a pre-decimal Elizabeth II Sixpence in Uncirculated condition. The Sixpence was the only coin that did not have a decimal equivalent that was allowed to still be used when decimal coins came in. That was because it was the price of a phone call in a call box and decimal coins were causing too many problems at that time.
