1949 British Coin Sets

Nine Different Coins Issued
Not all values of coins are issued every year, it depends on demand, but in 1949 Nine different denominations of British coin were issued.
They were crown, halfcrown, florin, threepence, sixpence, Scottish shilling, English shillings, penny, and halfpenny.

No Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1949, 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.

We can offer sets of all Nine coins in selected condition, packaged in an attractive blue card.

1949 Sets Contain:
All Nine pre-decimal coin types, crown, halfcrown, florin, threepence, sixpence, Scottish shilling, English shillings, penny, and halfpenny.
All attractively packaged in a specially designed plastic case.
