1905 British Coin Sets

1905 Half Sovereign

Eight Coins Issued
Not all values of coins are issued every year, it depends on demand, but in 1905, all eight of the normal circulating denominations were issued, namely halfcrown, farthing, florin, shilling, sixpence, threepence, penny, half penny. The florin is a slightly scarce or "key" date, having the lowest mintage of any recent florin.

No Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1905, the Royal Mint were not in the habit of issuing proof or uncirculated coin sets every year. Proof or specimen coin sets were only issued on special occasions such as coronations and jubilees. It was not until 1970 that they started to issue coin sets every year for sale to collectors.

1905 Proof Sets Contain:
The eight pre-decimal coin types, halfcrown, farthing, florin, shilling, sixpence, threepence, Penny, half penny.
