50 years ago, on 15th February 1971, the most radical change to the British monetary system in history had occurred overnight – decimalisation.
Gone were the crowns, shillings, and pence, making way for a new era of British coinage. In over a thousand years, Britain had never seen such an upheaval of the nation’s currency, and overnight, centuries of tradition were consigned to the history books.
The money that first bore the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as our new monarch almost seven decades ago, that circulated in wartime Britain when rationing was introduced and sat in the pockets of heroes as they were drafted onto the front line. A currency so steeped in history that it had remained relatively unchanged since the Battle of Hastings in 1066!
Each coin in this beautiful set is struck in pure silver to Proof quality – the highest possible standard, depicting exact sized reproductions of pre-decimal coinage. Each features the inscription ‘BRITAIN’S LAST PRE-DECIMAL COINAGE’ and ‘1971-2021.’
Remarkably, just 1,971 sets have been issued worldwide, so I urge you to act now in securing this timeless commemoration to Britain’s much-loved pre-decimal coinage.
Rest assured that by placing your order you have no further commitments and your purchase is protected by The London Mint Office 14-day “no quibble” guarantee.
