The first new sixpence minted in over 60 years

A good luck tradition returns

Life is full of change and challenge. Times when you want to say good luck and hope friends and loved ones find the happiness they deserve. Or that they achieve their goals – a new job, moving house, getting married or taking an exam. The silver sixpence has long been a token of good luck, popped into Christmas puddings and the shoes of brides fulfilling the traditional rhyme ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe’.

For the first time since 1946 The Royal Mint is pleased to announce the return of the silver sixpence, a traditional good luck charm freshly minted and available once more. But this decimal 6p is not for circulation, this versatile gift is an original and thoughtful way to show someone that you’re thinking about them. Complete with a booklet, Certificate of Authenticity.
