Product Details
Item #:UK-FTTH
When it was announced that the round £1 coin would be replaced by a new 12-sided coin, it immediately drew comparisons with the only other dodecagonal coin to be issued by the Royal Mint – the nickel-brass threepence. The coin was fondly remembered as Britain’s first non-circular coin and it was fitting that the new £1 coin was issued fifty years after the last threepence was struck.
Now, Danbury Mint can now offer you a rare opportunity to acquire the last 44 threepences that were issued for circulation in the UK, with Farewell to the Threepence. This collection features all the threepences that were issued for circulation in the UK from 1930 to 1967, that includes 14 silver threepence from 1930 to 1943 and 30 brass threepences from 1937 to 1967.
You’ll also receive an uncirculated £1 coin, free of charge! The issue’s 12-sided design pays homage to the brass threepence, featuring a gold-coloured nickel-brass outer ring and a silver-coloured, nickel-plated alloy inner ring.
What’s more, at about the same time as your third shipment, you will receive a deluxe faux-leather book-style display to house and protect your entire collection. The collection name is elegantly embossed on both the front and spine, and the inside cover presents the fascinating history of the threepence. This stylish book is perfect for any home — and best of all, you will receive it at no additional charge.
The display measures 10¼" (26cm) long x 9¾" (25cm) wide x 1¾" (4cm) deep (closed).
