Lucky ‘Silver’ Sixpences
The age-old tradition of gifting a ‘lucky’ sixpence has had a bit of a revival
A simple, but meaningful, way to send someone good luck wishes and to let them know you’re thinking of them. Slim and lightweight, it can be kept in a wallet or purse, and our Christmas designs can be hung on the tree year after year.
Our designs are tailored for every event or occasion ~ birthdays, retirement, good luck, graduation, new baby, grandparents, Driving test, First Communion…in fact, any reason to acknowledge a special time or event in someone’s life. Perfect for popping into a greetings card for sending overseas.
Ideal for Corporate events too.
Our range of ‘lucky’ sixpences contains genuine pre-circulated coins, with an engraved portrait of either Queen Elizabeth II (QE2) or King George VI, on the obverse, dating randomly from 1947 up to 1967 (when these coins were last minted in UK).
The coins are cleaned and polished to a sparkling shiny finish and enclosed in a 2 x 2 inch coin card then mounted on a branded backing card with a history of the sixpence coin printed on the reverse. Packaged in a PLA-2 (bio-degradable, eco-friendly, vegetable based) clear sleeve.
(Pre-circulated 1947-1967 coins are made of cupro-nickel, so the term ‘silver’ is for association/descriptive purposes only)
