Steve Pence was born on 1953-12-22.
One Pound GBP in 1953 had the purchasing power of about £18.67 GBP today.
0.5 shellings, duno what a shelling is though!!It cost 6 pence (which is half of a shilling) There were 20 shillings in a British pound, that is 240 penceThe unit of currency you are referring to is a SHILLING, which was equal to 5 pence. Therefore, 0.5 shillings = 2.5 pence. (It cost 6d, i.e. OLD pennies, NOT 6p).
A British coin without the traditional monarchs bust on the obverse would be the 1953 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation commemorative Crown. Instead of the Queen's bust, she is shown sitting on a horse.
It could be any 50 cent or 50 Pence coin issued since 1953 by any of the 50 plus Commonwealth countries. If the coin has no country name on it, it is most likely a British 50 Pence coin issued between 1969 and now.
Please ask one question at a time. The answers to all of your Halfcrown questions already exist on WA. Use the format - "What is the value of a 1953 British Halfcrown?"
There was no 1955 British Crown (Five Shillings) minted. You possibly refer to the 1953 "Coronation" Crown.
The obverse of the 1953 British Sixpence reads from the top " ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITT OMN REGINA", which is Latin for "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God Queen of all Britain". The reverse reads "FID DEF" which is a continuation of the obverse inscription meaning, "Defender of the Faith", a title given to Henry VIII by the Pope (before he incurred the wrath of the catholic church), and of course SIX PENCE 1953.
Such a coin does not exist. Canada has not used the British sterling currency system since the mid-19th century.
The woman on the obverse of all British coins and the coins of many British Commonwealth countries from 1953 to present day (2010) is Queen Elizabeth II. It is written around the circumference of all coins bearing her image. Her full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
This question is too vague as there have been hundreds of Elizabeth II coins issued since her coronation in June 1953.
