Sixpence (Tanner)
The Sixpence (6d) or Tanner as it is also known was first minted in 1551 during the reign of Edward VI and was last struck for everyday usage in 1967. It measures 19.3 mm and the coins minted before 1920 contain 92.5% of silver. After this date, from 1920 to 1946, they were minted with 50% silver. The most recent Tanner (1947-1967) was struck in cupronickel. In its day, it was one of the most well-liked coins. So well-liked in fact, that it was still legal tender until well after the decimalisation came into effect. The 6 Pence represented six pennies and many consider it to be a lucky coin...

We have just found in a small room a little lot of the 1936 British Silver Sixpences. They are in Choice Uncirculated condition and the date is rather special.

George V, Sixpence 1936 Gem Unc
In 1936 this country had three Kings, George V, Edward VIII and George VI. All of the coins issued that year carried the portrait of the late King George V, which was tradition with our coinage. No new coins would be issued until the new Monarch was actually crowned. As Edward VIII never made it, there were no British coins issued for this Monarch. The Sixpence is a very popular coin, as it is often given to a bride to wear in her shoe for good luck at her wedding. The coins on offer are in Gem Uncirculated condition, a very high grade examples of the Three Kings Sixpence.
