Comment

This is part of a nine-coin series produced by Windsor Mint commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Decimalisation in 2021. Each coin features a pre-Decimal (£sd) denomination, dated to the last year each was produced. The series is displayed in a cushioned wooden box with an overall certificate of authenticity for the series, as well as individual certificates for each coin.
