1938 British Coin Sets

Reverse of 1938 Half Crown

Ten Coins Issued
Not all values of coins are issued every year, it depends on demand, but in 1938, all ten of the normal circulating denominations were issued, namely half crown, florin, sixpence, Scottish shilling, English shilling, silver threepence, brass threepence, penny and halfpenny.

No Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1938, 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.

1938 Proof Sets Contain:
The ten pre-decimal coin types, half crown, florin, sixpence, Scottish shilling, English shilling, silver threepence, brass threepence, penny and halfpenny .
All attractively packaged in a specially designed plastic case.
