A group of United Kingdom coins encompassing issues from the late 18th century to the late 20th century. The collection comprises copper, bronze, brass, and cupro-nickel denominations. Visible pieces include George III copper coinage dated 1797 and 1806, featuring the legend GEORGIUS III D:G REX and the seated Britannia reverse. The collection contains Victorian bronze pennies with Bun Head and veiled head portraits, alongside quantities of pre-decimal George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II pennies, halfpennies, and dodecagonal brass threepences. Also present are cupro-nickel sixpences, shillings, and florins, and modern decimal one and two pence pieces.

Readable printed black text on these bags includes the Barclays logo and eagle emblem, and denominations such as £5 SILVER, 10p, £1 BRONZE, and 2p, with the instruction NO MIXED COIN PLEASE. One bag shows the eagle device and reversed text reading BARCLAYS.
