Comments

Standardowa waga tych monet wynosiła 48 do funta lub jedną trzecią uncji avoirdupois (145,8 ziaren).

Ze względu na dużą liczbę groszy będących już w obiegu w 1953 roku, monety te nie zostały wybite do obiegu, ale zostały wyemitowane jako część zestawu 9 monet Royal Mint w plastikowej kopercie. Uważa się, że wiele z tych zestawów zostało rozbitych, a monety trafiły do obiegu.

Wydano również specjalny zestaw próbny zawierający monety od 5s. do 1/4d. wybite z polerowanych matryc i sprzedawane w specjalnych pudełkach (wyemitowano 40 000 sztuk).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The standard weight of these pieces was 48 to the pound or one third ounce avoirdupois (145.8 grains).

Due to the large number of pennies already circulating in 1953, these coins were not struck for circulation but were issued as part of the 9-coin Royal Mint set in a plastic envelope. It is thought that many of these sets were broken up with the coins ending up in circulation.

Also, a special proof set was released comprising 5s. to 1/4d. struck from polished dies and sold in special cases (40,000 issued).
