Pennies from Heaven

Well not quite ... but I did get an unexpected windfall from upstairs.
Karin donated some old change to me she'd had from her mother - including a selection of pre-decimal coins dating from 1966 way back to 1906 ... and from four different monarchs - Edward VI, George V, George VI, and Elizabeth.

So I thought I'd share them with the world, in pictures.


Half a crown is about the same as 12,5 pence in modern currency - which makes a British crown worth about four Swedish crowns (kronor).
You always wanted to know that.. :-)
