The display contains the complete set of eight 1955 coins, namely: halfcrown, florin, Scottish and English shilling, sixpence, threepence, halfpenny and farthing (the penny was not issued dated 1955).
The coins are housed within a display that is held in a protection case, sized just over 17cm x 12cm. The display and case are in New/Mint condition and the coins are in Fine (or better) condition.
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.
This would make a wonderful gift for a Newcastle United fan.
The product can be removed from the protection case, to allow frame mounted display, if so desired.

Newcastle had the same dressing room as when they met Arsenal in 1952, plus the knowledge and confidence gained in two recent Final victories.

Milburn scored for
Newcastle's counter move to City's plan had been for the defence to move upfield very quickly immediately Revie, well behind his own forwards, got the ball. City forwards found themselves in offside positions before the pass was made.
Meadows did not return, and it was not surprising that
A great achievement for The Magpies, they had won the famous trophy three times in five years.
