1957 Great British Coin Display Gift Set
This 1957 British year set contains the complete seven coins all issued and dated from the year, namely: halfcrown, florin, Scottish and English shilling, sixpence, threepence and halfpenny (the penny was not issued dated 1957).
This would make a wonderful and original gift for someone born or married in 1957 as 2024 will see their 67th Birthday or Anniversary!
The coins are housed within a display that is held in a quality, wooden, picture frame with glass front, sized 24cm x 19cm. The display and frame are in New/Mint condition and the coins are in Fine (or better) condition.
Note - We don't clean/polish coins as
this actually devalues coinage.
Our manufacturing process includes a precision laser cutting method to create the necessary holes in each display for the required coins to be inserted and held, safely recessed, in the correct position (beware of similar offerings that secure coins by crudely gluing them into position).
