First up, we’re spotlighting the Elizabeth I Threepence, available in Fine or Very Good condition. 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. They were amongst the first British coins to feature dates and therefore, like the sixpences are popular with collectors. They are at least 442 years old.
Next is the Victoria, Godless Florin 1849 Fine! Britain's first step towards decimalisation, these rare coins sparked controversy by omitting "Dei Gratia" (By the Grace of God), earning them the nickname "Godless Florin." Struck only from 1849 to 1851, they represent a monumental shift in British currency that paved the way for the decimal system we know today.
Our third feature follows on with Victoria, Farthing, 1888, Choice Brilliant Uncirculated,and these coins are some of the finest examples that we have ever seen. They are fantastic for any type collection, they will really stand out and draw attention. There are a very small number available.
