Collection: Twopence & Three Halfpence
Explore our collection of old twopence and three halfpence coins for sale and own a piece of British history. Minted from the 16th century until 1970, the twopence coin, also known as a half groat, was valued at 1/120th of a pound (£1), while the three halfpence coin was valued at one eighth of a shilling. Over the years, both coins featured a variety of designs, with the obverse often showcasing portraits of reigning monarchs such as King George V, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth II. Both the twopence and three halfpence coins were withdrawn from circulation in 1971, following the decimalisation of British currency, when they were replaced by the two pence (2p) and three pence (3p) coins, respectively.
