George III 3d Extremely Fine

When the first convicts were sent to Australia, these George III Silver threepences of 1762 and 1763 were some of the coins they would have carried. They are highly collected in Australia as one of the first coins to come to that country. We have a small group of choice examples in Extremely Fine and Uncirculated condition. Of course most of the coins were carried by the guards, but no doubt some of the convicts had money too. These are beautiful coins with an important history to Australia and they are now almost 260 years old. These are much nicer than you would usually see the 1762 and 1763 George III silver threepences.

Elizabeth I Threepence Fine_obv

Elizabeth I Threepence Fine

The silver threepence of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), first minted at the Tower mint in 1561, was part of her broader effort to reform England’s currency and stabilise the economy following the monetary debasements of her father – Henry VIII. The threepence was commonly used in everyday transactions during the 16th century. The threepence features the bust of Elizabeth I on the obverse, with the inscription and a long cross over a shield bearing the royal arms on the reverse. They also have the Tudor rose behind the Queen’s bust to make so that they wouldn’t be mistaken for the Groat or Halfgroat. These coins are highly collectible due to their association with Elizabeth I’s reign, a period of significant cultural, political, and economic development. They were amongst the first British coins to feature dates and therefore, like the sixpences are popular with collectors. This comes in Fine grade, have a portrait of the Queen and are at least 442 years old. This denomination was last offered as a feature over six years ago, so make the most of the opportunity.
