1967 'The Last British Sterling Coins' Vintage Coin Gift Display Set (Retro 57th Birthday or Wedding Anniversary Present)

My husband loves this. He is an avid coin/note collector and this was just lovely to celebrate a special birthday.

goods exactly as described, delivery was quick

This coin set is an ideal gift for people of a certain age. There are also sets which are specific to a known birth year, but for any other occasion this is a beautiful set to remind or to demonstrate the pre-decimal currency some of us remember fondly.With Britannia no longer on the coins it is lovely to see such untarnished examples of the solid currency that used to be such icons of British life.Although these make an ideal gift as they are sent, in a plastic presentation case that allows viewing of both sides, it is worth considering a wooden frame to really finish off the appearance as a gift. It may also be worth considering as a gift for a youngster who has never seen these wonderful coins.The shorter set of 1967 reflects only that there were fewer struck in that year. Other years may contain other examples of the currency. This means that the set comes in at an economical price compared to years that had many different coins struck, but remains a fascinating collectors item for display, as a gift, a keepsake, or just as a method of prodding the memory.
