This is a great opportunity to buy the LAST of the old £sd currency along with the FIRST of Britain's new decimal coinage £p.

The older currency was issued by the Royal Mint on a yearly basis for collectors until 1967 which is the last year that pre-decimal coins were minted. The case contains 6 coins held firmly within a card sealed in a plastic case. It includes the much more popular Halfpenny, old Penny 1d, Threepence 3d, Sixpence 6d, Florin 2/- and the Half Crown 2/6.

The blue decimal currency packet contains the following newly minted 1971 rebadged coins: 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p and the short lived ½p

Both packets have been carefully stored and are in very good uncirculated condition though the newer packet does bear some tarnishing caused by the normal moisture in the air.

Please look at my other auctions for vintage British coins.
