In 2011 the nation commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the most significant change ever seen to our coinage – Decimalisation. In February 1971 the nation paid a fond farewell to the centuries old units of the old Pound, Shilling and Pence and welcomed the introduction of decimalisation.
And now you have the opportunity to beat the rush and own one of the very first commemoratives made available to mark this historic anniversary. As the nation prepares for the 40th Anniversary of Decimalisation you can secure for yourself and your family this magnificent commemorative issue.
Exquisite Gold and Rhodium Platinum Plating
The Queen Elizabeth II Gold Plated Penny features the original Queen Elizabeth II Portrait that featured on all her pre-decimal coins and has been plated in 24-carat Gold. Additionally, the historic Britannia design that features on the reverse of the coin has been exquisitely highlighted in Rhodium Platinum to enhance this classic design.
Britannia may no longer feature on our every day coinage, but her legacy lives on with this coin. The Rhodium Platinum accents bring the patriotic symbol of Britain to life like you have never seen her before – a fitting tribute to centuries of numismatic tradition.
But with just 50,000 of these uniquely packaged coins, complete with Certificate of Authenticiy, to be made available to collectors, we expect unparallelled demand. Millions will want to participate. Orders your today to avoid disappointment!
