The Rarest Sixpence of the 20th Century

This 1952 Sixpence is a true numismatic rarity. Struck in the final year of King George VI’s reign, it carries his last official portrait. Following his untimely passing in February 1952, minting was abruptly halted - making this the last Sixpence of his reign.

A Coin of ‘Lasts’

This remarkable coin holds a special place in history:

• The last Sixpence of King George VI
•  Struck in the last era before decimalisation
• The last before Queen Elizabeth II’s transformative reign

Just over 1 million coins were struck - an astonishing 98% fewer than the first Sixpence of his ‘Third Coinage’ in 1949. This low mintage, combined with its historical significance, ensures its place as one of the most sought-after coins of the 20th century.

Highly sought-after coin by collectors, it’s important to consider that our allocation is extremely limited, meaning many will miss out on this opportunity.
