Comes in an individual pouch. Uncirculated coin.
The 1967 "threepenny bit" is a brass coin featuring Queen Elizabeth II and a Tudor portcullis, marking the last year this denomination was made for general circulation before decimalization, though some were minted afterward with the 1967 date frozen to discourage collecting; it was worth three old pence (1/80th of a pound) and is now a collectible item with value depending on condition.
Key Features:
- Material: Brass.
- Obverse (Heads): First portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick.
- Reverse (Tails): A crowned portcullis (a badge of Henry VII) designed by William Gardner.
- Inscription: "THREE 1967 PENCE".
- Significance: The final year for the brass threepence in circulation, made just before the UK moved to decimal currency in 1971.
