  • 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 1967 Three Pence Coin

    Origin & Historical Context

    • Issued during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, this coin represents the final year of mass production for the traditional nickel-brass threepenny bit before decimalisation.

    • Minted by the Royal Mint, it was part of the pre-decimal currency system, where 3 pence equaled 1⁄80 of a pound sterling.

    • Although coins dated 1970 exist, they were only issued in proof sets; 1967 was the last year for general circulation.

    Design Features

    • Obverse: Features the young laureate portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick, with the inscription ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRATIA·REGINA·F:D: (Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith).

    • Reverse: Displays a Tudor portcullis with chains and a crown above, designed by William Maving Gardner, with the words THREE PENCE and the date below.

    • Edge: Plain.
