How We Can Help You
As a leading UK coin dealer, we are often asked for coins or coin sets from particular years, as gift items. We are happy to try to oblige. On this page we list a few suggestions.
We keep most of the following coins in stock for immediate delivery.

1956 Coin Sets
Eight Coins Issued
1956 was the second full year of Elizabeth II, as often 1956 coins in mint condition are harder to find than 1953, the first year of her coins.

Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1956, the Royal Mint were not in the habit of issuing proof or uncirculated coin sets every year. It was not until 1970 that they started to issue coin sets every year for sale to collectors. We do compile our own coin sets, though, and we can usually supply 1956 British coin sets, please see our 1956 coin sets page.

1956 British Gold Coins
There were no British gold sovereigns or half sovereigns issued in 1956. Few countries were issuing any gold coins at around this period, but there is a useful link on one of our other websites about 1956 gold coins.

Other 1956 Coins
We may be able to supply coins of other countries from 1956, please check with us by telephone.
