1959 British Coin Sets

Reverse of 1959 Penny

Seven Different Coins Issued
Not all values of coins are issued every year, it depends on demand, but in 1959 Seven different denominations of British coin were issued.
They were halfcrown, florin, threepence, sixpence, Scottish shilling, English Shilling and halfpenny.

No Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1959, 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.
