1944 British Coin Sets

Thrift Plant on Reverse of 1944 Brass Threepence

Ten Different Coins Issued
Not all values of coins are issued every year, but there were 10 different British coin types issued in 1944.
The denominations were halfcrown, florin, English shilling, Scottish shilling, sixpence, silver threepence, brass threepence, penny, halfpenny and farthing.
No Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1944, 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.

The Ten pre-decimal coin types, halfcrown, florin, English shilling, Scottish shilling, sixpence, silver threepence, brass threepence, penny, halfpenny and farthing.
