In the reign of Edward I, the Silver Penny was the largest denomination made for circulation. Here we offer an example of an Edward I Silver Penny from the Canterbury Mint in Very Good condition.

In 2016 a hoard of English silver coins, buried during the Civil War (1642-1651) was discovered in Ewerby, Lincolnshire. They were declared and are thus legal for you to own. They were put up for auction and we bought all the Elizabeth I Silver Sixpences at the auction. It is normal to find earlier coins in a hoard from the date it was buried, as they were buried to protect the hoard and the owner. We bought the Sixpences because that is one coin of Elizabeth I that has a date on it. Elizabeth I Silver Sixpences are dated between 1560 and 1602 and while having seen a lot of circulation they are struck in good silver. Don’t forget these coins are between 420-460 years old and are real British Treasure. The sixpence is great because it has a date on it and is also great for weddings, where the bride should carry a sixpence in her shoe. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe. In the days of Elizabeth I, you could get by for about a week if you had a sixpence. It was real money at the time. We offer these coins in five different grades. Each coin comes with a certificate of authenticity. Supplies are limited.

Coins are occasionally clipped. The obverse portrait will be worn out but legends are readable. The reverse will usually have a clear impression of the shield and date.

Richard, son of Henry II, was well known for his bravery in battle, indeed he spent most of his reign in battle which is how he came to be known as Richard “The Lionheart”. The only coins of his reign are the shortcross penny, they are difficult to find as he only reigned from 1189-1199. These pennies have the facing portrait of Richard on one side and a short cross on the other side. Richard didn’t adopt his own name on the coins, instead using that of his father – HENRICVS, as did his brother John that succeeded him. A portion of the pennies were cut in half and a quarter to be used as small change. All the coins on offer are real and genuine and over 800 years old. Our Richard I Silver Pennies are available in Very Good or Fine condition and haven’t been offered as a feature for 6 years, so make the most of this rare opportunity.
