Collectable 2022 silver Sixpence, released by The Royal Mint as a modern revival of the historic British denomination. These .925 sterling silver coins were the last of their kind to be issued in the name of Queen Elizabeth II, who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee in this year. Her late Majesty's final circulating Sixpences were struck in 1967, but this modern series of brilliant uncirculated collector's coins has been released by the UK's national mint annually since 2016. This 2022 coin features a design inspired by historic Victorian Sixpences, created by John Bergdahl, paired with Jody Clark's final portrait of the Queen. It's presented in a beautifully designed Christmas card, making it ready to send as a thoughtful and meaningful seasonal gift.

Sixpences were last issued for circulation in 1967, with the last of these coins found in 1970 Proof Sets. The series was revived in 2016 with limited edition annual releases intended for dedicated coin collectors and gift givers.
This modern Sixpence from The Royal Mint features a historically inspired design, created by John Bergdahl and showing a crowned royal cypher, encircled by a wreath of national flowers with 'SIXPENCE' above.
The obverse displays Jody Clark's fifth and final definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with an abbreviated Latin inscription that reads 'ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRA · REGINA · FID · DEF ·'.
Like the historic Sixpences of the past, these collectable coins are struck in solid .925 sterling silver. They are finished to a premium brilliant uncirculated standard, giving them a bright, high-lustre appearance.
Your pre-owned 2022 Sixpence will be supplied in its original gift card presentation pack, left blank and accompanied by the matching envelope. Please note that the coin is not sealed within its capsule.
