About This Design

1922 British sixpence button

1922 British sixpence button

The British sixpence was minted from 1551 to decimalisation in 1971. It is a small coin worth six pence, half a shilling or a 40th of a pound sterling. The sixpence was sterling silver until 1920, half silver until 1946 and cupro-nickel from 1947 to the end. When my husband was at school, a silver sixpence was baked into the Christmas pudding for some lucky lad to find (if he didn't choke on it). Sixpence coins are considered lucky and are often worn as charms. This 1922 sixpence, from the reign of George V, is 19mm in diameter, and just under three grams of silver. The design is a modified version of a shilling design by George William de Saulles. This old coin has seen a lot of handling; I wonder how many Christmas puddings it lived through? UK currency was decimalised in 1971. This coin is pre-decimal currency and is no longer legal tender.

I love the quality and the color and the design I got to customize them to the way I like my husband and I are different and it was really nice that I could custom mama instead of mommy or mom because I like to be called mama so that was nice and then I was able to make his big sisters to buttons as well so that was really nice. I love the design it’s simple it’s cute I can’t wait to wear them on my baby shower day.

The button was just as expected. My mother's smile was captured so beautifully. The size was just right and the colors we chose were bright. The print was nice and clear. A person ordering should just make sure the wording is lined up in the center before submitting
