New Zealand, Threepence 1939

In the 1970s Greece became a Republic and they had terrible inflation. They started to strike their coins in aluminium. It didn’t work because even the value of aluminium was greater than their face value. About 30 years ago we are able to buy a quantity of these coins from a friend in Greece. The coins are all in Uncirculated condition and we haven’t seen any quantity of these coins since. I think they are underappreciated and know that they are scarcer than either the catalogue or collectors realise. Were we offer the 1976 10 Lepta in Unc. We sell nothing as an investment, but these coins are harder to find than most people realise. Get them while you can…

We have just purchased a group of King George VI Silver Threepences from New Zealand, all were issued during World War II. This was the furthest part of the British Empire at the time and these coins must have had a heck of journey to get to New Zealand. All coins are in Fine condition and this one was issued in 1940.
