Antiques and Collectibles
A collection of coins primarily from the UK, spanning the 20th century. The assembly includes various denominations, notably commemorative base-metal five-shilling crowns such as the 1951 Festival of Britain crown and the 1953 Coronation crown. The lot contains a selection of commemorative nickel-brass and bi-metallic two-pound coins, including the 1986 Commonwealth Games, 1995 United Nations, and 1996 European Football Championship issues. A 1994 D-Day 50th-anniversary commemorative 50p coin is also included. The bulk of the collection consists of loose, circulated pre-decimal and decimal copper, bronze, and cupro-nickel coinage, including pennies, halfpennies, farthings, sixpences, and shillings, featuring portraits of George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II. Also present is a Britains First Decimal Coins blue folder set and a French coin marked FRANCAISE. Several coins are held in protective plastic flips, cases, and folders, while others remain loose and circulated.
Box measurements: 340 mm x 200 mm x 120 mm.
