1942 Coins as Gifts

No Gold Sovereigns
First, the bad news. There were no gold sovereigns or any other British gold coins issued in 1942. In fact there were only 4 different British coins issued in 1942, apart from Maundy Money. Now for the good news. The following is a list of suggested gift ideas for 1942, suitable for golden wedding or fiftieth birthday gifts.

1942 Eight Coin Selected Set
We can offer sets of 1942 coins in selected condition, packaged in an attractive blue card.

1942 Coin Sets Contain:
The nine pre-decimal coin types, halfcrown, florin, English shilling, Scottish shilling, sixpence, silver and brass threepences, halfpenny and farthing. Pennies were not issued in 1943. All attractively packaged in a specially designed plastic case. Please see our 1942 coin sets page for pricing and availability.

Gold Coins
As there were no British gold sovereigns or other British gold coins issued in 1942, we have a list of other world gold coins dated 1942 on the 1942 Gold Sovereigns page of our gold sovereigns website.

2002 Gold Sovereigns
This years gold sovereigns will feature a special design, for this one year only, to commemorate the Royal Golden Jubilee year 1942 - 2002. At the time of writing this page we were still awaiting confirmation and details from the Royal Mint, but we will be updating news about them on our 2002 Sovereigns page of our gold sovereigns website.

2002 Half Sovereigns
Similarly the gold half sovereigns will carry the same special design. News and details about these are on the 2002 Half Sovereigns page of our Tax Free Gold website.

Four Coin Proof Gold Sets
The 4 coin sets of sovereign, half sovereign, two pound, and five pound gold coins will also have the same special design as the sovereigns. Details of these will be updated on the 2002 Gold 4 Coin Proof Sets page of our Tax Free Gold website.

Three Coin Proof Gold Sets
The 3 coin sets of sovereign, half sovereign, and two pound gold coins will also have the same special design as the sovereigns. Details of these will be updated on the 2002 Gold 3 Coin Proof Sets page of our Tax Free Gold website.

Proof Gold Britannia Sets
The 4 coin sets of gold Britannia coins will be issued later in the year. Details of these will be updated on the 2002 Gold Britannia Proof Sets page of our Tax Free Gold website.

2002 British Coin Sets
It is too early for us to know yet whether there will be any other coins issued to celebrate the golden jubilee which may be included in the mint coin sets or proof coin sets issue for 2002. It is possible that coins to celebrate this event may be restricted solely to gold coins, for obvious reasons.
