The British New Penny coin was first issued in 1971.
The oldest British Penny potentially still in circulation would be the 1971 New Penny.
The British "New Penny" was first issued in 1971, along with the Two New Pence and the Half New Penny. From 1982, the "New" was dropped and the coin was known as the 'Penny" again. This is true for all British decimal coins, the word "New" no longer being used from 1982.
Such a coin does not exist. There was no British Penny minted from 1955 to 1960 inclusive.
I can't find any listings for a British penny with that date. Could you post a new question with additional information, including any wording on the coin and a description of the image on the side that doesn't have the King's picture? NEW : One cent, it does not matter what year it is. A penny is still a penny.
A common UK coin, the lowest denomination currently in circulation and worth face value only.
The English penny, often referred to simply as a "penny," is worth one-hundredth of a British pound. As of October 2023, one British pound is equivalent to approximately 1.36 U.S. dollars, making a penny worth about 1.36 U.S. cents. However, the value of the penny can also vary based on factors like rarity and historical significance in numismatics.
A US "penny" is actually a 1 cent coin, worth 1/100 of a dollar. A British penny (the coin's official name) is worth 1/100 of a pound sterling.
