Queen Elizabeth II Lucky Sixpence
The Queen Elizabeth II sixpences were minted between 1953 - 1967 prior to the decimalisation of British coinage.
Each sixpence is sent in a cardboard packaging sleeve with PVC window to protect the coin during postage, or is now available in a pretty presentation box with the rhyme:
Something old, Something new, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Amd a silver sixpence in your shoe'
The back of the sixpences feature a garland of roses, thistle, shamrock, and leek. The words “Fid Def” also feature on the back of the sixpence. This is Latin for fidei desfensor, or defender of the faith.
We have a wide range of dates available but cannot send a specific date to you and therefore the sixpence you receive may vary from the one shown.
