Penny

Edward II also called Edward of Caernarfon, was King of England from 1307 until he was deposed in January 1327. Following the death of his father Edward “Longshanks”, Edward succeeded to the throne in 1307. The “Long Cross Penny” was the largest coin of the period and those of Edward II closely resemble those of his father. He adopted the same bust and legend. It takes a trained eye to spot differences in the lettering and the King's crown to spot a genuine Edward II. The pennies on offer here come in “Fine”. They are from London or Canterbury Mints, depending on availability. You have the crowned bust of the King on one side, under the name of Edward I. On the reverse you have CIVI TAS LONDON or CIVI TAS CANTOR, meaning “City of London (or Canterbury)”. This is the first time we have accumulated enough Edward II Pennies to offer you in almost three years, so get one while you can.

It has been quite some time since we were last able to offer you the complete date set of King Edward VII Pennies. To be honest, there just are not all that many around to make up collections. They were saved by a friend, who took the time to sort the hoard of Edward VII Pennies that he had accumulated over 20 years by date. Then he made complete date collections for us. Not only did he make date collections, but at a price that allows us to offer them to you at a special price. You get one of each date of King Edward VII Penny struck from 1902-1910. That means, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910. Every coin is over 100 years old and while circulated, they are still in very reasonable condition. You get all 9 different dates, which normally would sell for £24.50 as individual coins.

King Edward VII was the son of Queen Victoria and because she ruled for so long, his rule was rather short. In fact, the coins of Edward VII were only issued from 1902 to 1910, but that also means that all of his coins are over 100 years old. All coins are in Very Good condition with the details and the date clearly legible. Offered here is the 1902 penny. You have the bare head of the King on one side and a beautiful seated Britannia on the other side.

When Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1558, she boldly set about improving the quality of England’s coinage following the debasement of silver under her father Henry VIII. Throughout her reign large quantities of silver coins were produced, the silver was often obtained from raiding Spanish ships. Many silver denominations were produced under Elizabeth’s reign, from the Rare Crowns and Halfcrowns, the mass produced shillings and sixpences, and the more unusual small denominations — groats, threepences, half-groats, three-halfpence, pennies, three-farthings, and halfpenny. These small denominations were very popular with merchants and small traders. Elizabethan pennies are very small, and are often found creased or bent. The obverse bears the legend E D G ROSA SINE SPINA — Elizabeth by the grace of God a rose without a thorn — around a left-facing bust of the queen, while the reverse bears the legend CIVITAS LONDON — City of London. We are delighted to offer you a very small group of Elizabeth I Pennies, they were minted at the Tower Mint in London. Each is in Very Good or Fine condition with a clear depiction of the Queen. These are fantastic little coins, each is at least 420 years old, struck in Sterling Silver and bears the portrait of Elizabeth I.

It was fashionable in the 40s to put shiny new pennies in Christmas stockings, and the Mint considered this a frivolous use of valuable national resources at a time of austerity, so the Mint darkened them with thiosulphate in order to discourage the practice! We’ve been offering Post-War Pennies of George VI dated 1946 all the way through to 1950 over the last few months, hopefully you’ve taken the opportunity to compile an impressive collection? It gets difficult to find some of the War-time dates as they struck less during these troubled times, in fact between 1941 and 1943 they didn’t strike any at all. After rummaging through our vaults, we managed to find a nice group of high grade and Mint Darkened 1945 Pennies. Extend your date run of War-Time George VI pennies by adding one of these historic Mint Darkened 1945 Pennies to your collection, available in Uncirculated condition.
