The listing, ENGLAND - UK - GREAT BRITAIN COIN, 1940 THREE PENCE SILVER COIN - AU LUSTRE! has ended.
The coin you see photographed here is the exact coin the winner will receive encased in a 2x2 inch holder for protection.
This coin measures about 16 mm in diameter.
The three pence coin expressed in writing as "3d" first appeared in England during the fine silver coinage of King Edward VI (1547?1553), when it formed part of a set of new denominations. Although it was an easy denomination to work with in the context of the old sterling coinage system, being a quarter of a shilling, initially it was not popular with the public who preferred the groat (four pence).
