Title: 2013 Ironsides 50 pence
Post by: Kena on December 20, 2013, 11:55:46 PM

A friend sent three of these on Friday (one for me and two for folks I trade with).

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Christopher Ironside, designer of the first UK decimal coins, this 50p features his Royal Arms design which was the runner-up to the winning design of Britannia for the first 50p in 1969. The Royal Arms design now appears in public for the first time some 44 years after its creation.

I was looking for the U S Union's 'Ironside' in the U S's Civil War.
