Description
2022 Five Pence Shield 5p Uncirculated Coin
With the introduction of the decimal coinage in 1971, the pre-decimal one shilling coin was re-denominated as a 5p coin and these old shilling coins continued to circulate alongside the 5p coin until 1990.
After a review of the United Kingdom coinage in 1987, the Government announced its intention to issue a smaller 5p coin.
The 5p coin is legal tender for amounts up to £5.
