About This Design

1922 British sixpence button

1922 British sixpence button

The British sixpence was minted from 1551 to decimalisation in 1971. It is a small coin worth six pence, half a shilling or a 40th of a pound sterling. The sixpence was sterling silver until 1920, half silver until 1946 and cupro-nickel from 1947 to the end. When my husband was at school, a silver sixpence was baked into the Christmas pudding for some lucky lad to find (if he didn't choke on it). Sixpence coins are considered lucky and are often worn as charms. This 1922 sixpence, from the reign of George V, is 19mm in diameter, and just under three grams of silver. The design is a modified version of a shilling design by George William de Saulles. This old coin has seen a lot of handling; I wonder how many Christmas puddings it lived through? UK currency was decimalised in 1971. This coin is pre-decimal currency and is no longer legal tender.

I was over the moon excited when i saw that zazzle was carrying merchandise that related to a fantastic t.v. series Orphan Black - i am a huge fan of the show and of the one character - and being an openly gay male it is just a fun thing to say - i have taken the button and put it on my rainbow pride face mask. i was very pleased with the printing on the pin
