New Stock November 2024

November is here, and so are our latest gems! Ready to elevate your collection with exclusive finds? Discover the magic of our newest additions, meticulously curated to offer nothing but the best. 

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.

In addition to these exciting new coins, we also invite you to explore our wide range of collectables, including British, world, hammered, and ancient coins, coin sets, patina/reproductions, medals and stamps.

George III, Penny 1806-7 Fine_obv

George III, Penny 1806-7 Fine

The 1806 George III penny was part of a broader recoinage initiated to combat counterfeiting and improve the quality of British coinage. Made from copper, it weighed 18.9 grams and had a diameter of 34mm, making it larger than later pennies. The obverse featured a mature bust of King George III, designed by Conrad Küchler, the reverse depicts a seated Britannia, holding a shield and trident, symbolising Britain's maritime strength. These pennies was one of the last large pennies before the switch to bronze in 1860. It circulated widely due to its durability and became a standard for British coinage during the period.
