This NCLT Fine Silver (.999) NCLT coin was released as part of the 1999 Masterpieces in Silver "Pre Decimal Circulation Coins" set which contained five other re-makes of pre-decimal coins of various types. Each of the coins in the set featured the dates of rare original coins in each of the denominations.The reverse of this stunning coin is a replica of the original rare Melbourne Mint 1942 Silver Threepence of which only 528,000 were made. However, the obverse has the 1998 Ian Rank-Broadley fourth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second, unlike the original coin which had a Portrait of King George VI facing left.
