Elizabeth II rare coins
Elizabeth II rare coins for sale. One of the nice things about collecting the coinage of Queen Elizabeth II is that, of course, it spans the introduction of decimalisation, and many coins have changed in terms of size during her reign. Certain specific coins have also been phased our during Queen Elizabeths reign, notably the threepenny piece and sixpence. Some new coins were also introduced – i.e. the 20p coin and the £2 coin (which technically was ‘re-introduced’!)
Children can build up historically very useful coin collections which are based on Elizabeth’s reign because many of the coins are affordable (of course we’re not talking about sovereigns or other gold coins – but many of the regular coins of her reign can be picked up relatively cheaply). There are also various ceremonial crowns which were minted during her reign and, whilst not necessarily being the rarest or most exciting coins to serious numismatists, they are fun and interesting coins to own and collect. Best of all, a children’s decimal coin collection can also be spent if needs must (assuming that no really rare coins end up in the collection of course!)
Of course there are exceptions, especially mis-pressed coins which are very valuable (for example the undated 20p coins which show that decimal coins can still be worth seeking out).
First off here are the highest priced rare Elizabeth I coins as listed in the UK.
