Eight Coins Issued
1956 was the third year of issue for coins of Elizabeth II, although she acceded in 1952, because 1953 was her Coronation year, it is easier to find mint condition coins of that year, 1956 is much more difficult.
The eight denominations issued in 1956 were halfcrown, florin, English shilling, Scottish shilling, sixpence, threepence, halfpenny and farthing.
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.
Eight Coin Sets
We can offer sets of 8 coins in selected or near mint condition, packaged in an attractive blue card.
