The Britain's First Decimal Coins Set (15th February 1971) is a commemorative set marking the historic transition from the old system of pounds, shillings, and pence (Lsd) to the modern decimal currency system. This change took place on Decimal Day (15th February 1971), when the UK moved to a system where one pound (£1) was divided into 100 new pence, simplifying the currency. Key Features of the Britain's First Decimal Coins Set (1971): 1. Coins Included in the Set: The set typically contains six coins, all of which were the first decimal coins to be used in the UK: Half Penny (½p): Small bronze coin. One Penny (1p): Bronze coin. Two Pence (2p): Bronze coin. Five Pence (5p): Cupro-nickel coin, the same size and value as the pre-decimal shilling. Ten Pence (10p): Cupro-nickel coin, similar in size and value to the pre-decimal two-shilling coin. 2. Presentation: The coins were issued in a sealed, commemorative presentation pack or folder, which typically includes information about the transition to decimal currency and the specifications of each coin. These sets are often kept in pristine condition by collectors as they were not intended for circulation. 3. Design and Materials: Designers: Various prominent British coin designers contributed to these coins, including Arnold Machin, who created the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II used on the obverse (front) of the coins. Materials: The smaller denominations (½p, 1p, 2p) were made from bronze, while the larger denominations (5p, 10p) were made from cupro-nickel. Historical Significance: This set commemorates the moment when the UK underwent one of the most significant changes in its monetary system. Decimal Day, 15th February 1971, marks the point when the old system of pounds, shillings, and pence was replaced by a simpler system where 100 new pence made up one pound.
