George VI, Halfpenny 1952 Unc/Brilliant Unc

By the 1930s, the commonly used pennies were rather unpopular with businesses, silver Threepence was also unpopular. So a new coin was introduced - a larger brass version of the three pence coin. The new brass Threepence was Britain’s first twelve-sided coin, which proved very popular and its design inspired the new £1 coin in 2017. Here we present the 1952 Threepence in Uncirculated condition.

In 1960 the Royal Mint issued their shilling coins with both an English and a Scottish reverse. Because of the lower population of Scotland, they produced far fewer Scottish shillings than English shillings. The coins on offer are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and are now 64 years old. Here we offer the 1960 English Shilling Brilliant Unc. The Royal Mint struck its last shillings for circulation in 1960. Not easy coins to find these days.
