This display contains five 1922 British coins, namely: Sixpence, Threepence (both of these coins were struck in 50% silver) Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing. All of the coins are dated 1922.
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 Huddersfield Town fan.
The product can be removed from the protection case, to allow frame mounted display, if so desired.
