UK Pre-Decimal Coins

Before Britain adopted the decimal currency system in 1971, a unique range of coins circulated, each with its own rich history and cultural significance. These pre-decimal coins, from the iconic Shilling and Florin to the humble Farthing, played an essential role in everyday transactions and reflect the evolution of British numismatics. Featuring elegant designs, historic monarchs, and symbols of national pride, these coins serve as a tangible connection to Britain’s past, offering a glimpse into an era where pounds, shillings, and pence defined the economy.
