1940 British Coin Sets

Ten Different Coins Issued
Not all values of coins are issued every year, it depends on demand, but in 1940 Ten different denominations of British coin were issued.
They were halfcrown, florin, sixpence, English shilling, Scottish shilling, silver threepence, brass threepence, penny, halfpenny and farthing.

No Offical Coin Sets
Way back in 1940, 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.
