The day the country went decimal saw centuries of tradition evolve overnight, as we said a fond farewell to crowns, shillings and pence, and welcomed in a new era of currency – one that we still use today.
The humble Half Penny was one of the most familiar coins in Britain. First introduced in the 13th century and struck in many different forms for more than 700 years, it became an everyday companion, passing through millions of hands as people bought their daily essentials. Worth just half of one penny in Britain's pre-decimal currency, it was proof that even the smallest denomination could play an important role in everyday life. From sweets at the local corner shop, to newspapers, postage and bus fares, it became woven into the fabric of British society.
When Decimal Day arrived on 15th February 1971, the Half Penny quietly disappeared from circulation, marking the end of one of Britain's longest-serving coins and bringing to a close centuries of monetary tradition.
What better way to recount your memories of the money from ‘the good old days,’ than by holding one of Britain’s most iconic coins in our hands once again – but remastered more intricately than ever before!
This remastered and pure 24-carat gold layered 'Half Penny' design is a fantastic reminder of times gone by and one of the most important changes in British numismatic history.
