2021 Anniversary of Decimal Day Pre-Decimal and Decimal Collector Set


The 2021 Anniversary of Decimal Day Pre-Decimal and Decimal Collector Set

This is NOT a proof set but a collection of good quality coins chosen by the Royal Mint in order to celebrate 50 years of Decimalisation in 1971. The coins represent the typical coins found shortly before and shortly after decimalisation.

It's a great set whether you remember the coins or not. It's also easy to forget that the decimal coins have already changed (50p, 10p and 5p all resized smaller, half-pence demonetised).

These coins are available from the Royal Mint Shop.

The pre-decimal coins are:

  • Half-crown
  • Florin (Two shillings)
  • Shilling
  • Sixpence
  • Threepence
  • Penny
  • Halfpenny
  • Farthing

The decimal coins are:

  • Fifty Pence
  • Ten Pence
  • Five Pence
  • Two Pence
  • One Pence
  • Half-pence


Obverse and Reverse designers vary.
