Lot 197:
A Collection of UK Pre-decimal and Decimal Coinage including Pre-1947 Silver Issues
Description
A large collection of UK coinage spanning the reigns of George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II. The group comprises various denominations including crowns, half crowns, florins, shillings, sixpences, brass threepences, and bronze pennies. Notable items include multiple 1965 Winston Churchill commemorative crowns and a specific group of silver coinage accompanied by a handwritten note on a white paper slip reading PRE 47 in blue ink, signifying issues minted before 1947 with 0.500 silver fineness. The collection also features three modern encapsulated commemorative coins, one of which is a 2022 Elizabeth II memorial five pound coin with an obverse inscription reading ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2022. Another encapsulated coin reverse depicts the Royal Arms flanked by the dates 1926 and 2022. Common inscriptions across the standard currency include GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX, ELIZABETH II D G REG F D, HALF CROWN, FID DEF, TWO SHILLINGS, and ONE SHILLING. The lot consists of silver, cupro-nickel, brass, and bronze compositions. The 2022 memorial issue represents a significant modern numismatic release following the transition of the monarchy.
