Lot 131: A Collection of UK Pre-Decimal and Decimal Coinage with Shell Commemorative Medal Albums

An assortment of UK numismatic items and commemorative medals. The collection includes two plastic coin sleeves containing several dozen copper-alloy pennies and brass threepences. A wooden presentation case with a red velvet-lined interior, titled The Coinage of Elizabeth II, contains a cased set of six pre-decimal coins: a halfcrown, a florin, two shillings (English and Scottish types), a sixpence, and a threepence.

The lot features multiple themed medal albums produced for Shell, including a Great Britons Collection Album, a Historic Cars series, and two Man in Flight albums depicting milestones in aviation history. Further items include a Britain’s First Decimal Coins blue folder, a Sandhill Coin Folio for minor coinage, a Britain’s Kings & Queens commemorative booklet, and a folder titled Support the World Wildlife Fund with Shell. The medals in the themed albums are struck in base metal with a silver-coloured finish.
