Size comparison of the pre-decimal Half Penny coin, minted 1937, and the decimal Half Penny, minted 1971.

Was filling in some empty coin frames I was given and suddenly realise I do not have all coin denominations with George VI on them. Time to go coin hunting. I feel like I've been given a sidequest. lol

Minted 2023.

50p coin featuring the first official portrait of King Charles III, minted 2022. This coin was released to honour the life of Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest reigning monach. The reverse design features the 1953 coronation crown design.

The 1860 One Penny coin is now the oldest identifiable coin in my collection.

There's a mixture of British and Foreign coins here. I can't wait to sort through them!

The reverse face art is very intricate and depicts Viking arms and armour from the 9th - 13th centuries.

Both of these coins feature the Island's "Three Legs of Man" or the Manx Triskelion.
