Comment
The 2016 coin was the first silver sixpence to be struck in more than 60 years and was decimalised for these issues. These were issued as both wedding gifts and at Christmas for stirring into Christmas puddings.©The Royal Mint, 2016
In 2021 two Gold Proof varieties were also issued.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence - Elizabeth II (5th portrait; Silver) 2016-2022 coin from the United Kingdom is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a detailed image of the famous St. Edward's Crown, which is used in the coronation ceremony of British monarchs. This design was created by the Royal Mint's own team of artists and designers, and it is a departure from the traditional depiction of the royal coat of arms that is commonly seen on British coins. The use of silver and the detailed design make this coin a standout piece in the Royal Mint's collection.
