Whats a sixpence? Is that like 6 pennies? Or would that be equal to a dime, a nickle or what?
Never understood the British monetary system....
Pre dicimal coinage, 12 pence = 1 shilling, 20 shilings = 1 pound, 240 pence = 1 Pound. Pre decimal face value was about $3.00 US to one English Pound. There was a farthing 1/4 of a penny, a half penny, a penny, a threepence coin and a sixpence coin. Then there was a shilling a two shilling piece and the a half Crown this coin was a two shilling and sixpence coin.
hope it helps
Or about 23mm, just thought I would ask as there are 3 Elizabeth coins that have the Rose behing head, Shilling Sixpence and Threepence, but yours is as you say a Sixpence, it's a while since I had a Sixpencejimmy uk said:Thanks people :-)
