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.
