About This Item

I do just remember these beautiful coins in circulation just before the decimalisation of the UK currency in 1971. At that time they had a value of 12.5 pence (0.15 of a euro, or 19 US cents). They were first struck in 1549 and were 1/8th of a pound, or two shillings and sixpence. When this example was minted it was actually worth about £1.88 in todays prices adjusted for inflation. That's about 2.27 euros or $2.88 and it would have been the highest value coin in your purse. I decorated four I found in a second hand shop as I thought they would make great travel bugs. Thanks to XE currency conversion website and Safalra for their inflation information.

Took this little guy with the intention of adding some pics of my belove TC. Unfortunately I looked through all my pics and he must have been before I had my digital camera, so no pics. But I will place him in a new home soon.

Had to pick up 'Noopy. Sonic Mom is a big fan -- she even had a little Snoopy Christmas tree this year! I'll try to get some pics with some other Snoopy stuff. :)
