An exclusive tribute to the biggest ever change to the coinage of the United Kingdom – decimalisation. Forty years ago in 1971 the country went decimal, a revolution that affected the day to day lives on every single member of the population.
This pack contains six of the UK’s circulating coins issued in this momentous anniversary year alongside a specially minted 24 Carat Gold Plated commemorative medal. Produced by the Royal Mint this medal displays all of the symbols of Britain that have graced our coinage since 1971, including the portcullis, thistle and most famously Britannia herself.
Only available through The Westminster Collection, this pack is housed in colourful packaging produced by the Royal Mint which shows much of the public information material that accompanied the launch of the decimal coinage.
As informative as it is nostalgic, this pack should bring back memories for all those that lived through the historic changeover, and will be perfect to pass down to future generations to remind them of this landmark numismatic event.
