Comments

Ze względu na ogromną ilość potrzebną do zmiany systemu dziesiętnego oraz fakt, że mennica przenosiła się z Tower Hill w Londynie do Llantrisant w Walii, monety były bite w obu mennicach w latach 1968-1972. W 1968 roku w południowej Walii nie wybito żadnych monet, podczas gdy w Tower Hill wybito 82.000.00 monet(Royal Mint Annual Report 1968 Volume No.99 Image 36 - The Royal Mint Museum). W 1969 roku ponownie nie wybito żadnych monet w Południowej Walii, podczas gdy w Tower Hill wybito 82 660 000 monet. W 1970 roku w Llantrisant wybito 53 200 000 monet, podczas gdy w Tower Hill wybito 69 477 350 monet, w latach 1971-1972 w Llantrisant wybito 212 222 000 monet, podczas gdy w Tower Hill wybito 5 954 000 monet.

Christopher Ironside zaprojektował wszystkie sześć nowych nominałów do decymalizacji, za co w 1971 roku otrzymał nagrodę OBE.

Pełny zestaw nowych monet dziesiętnych został wydany w niebieskim opakowaniu prezentacyjnym wraz z kartą informacyjną do użytku publicznego.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Due to the vast quantity required for the decimal changeover and the fact that the Mint was moving from Tower Hill, London to Llantrisant, Wales the coins were minted at both mints during 1968 -1972. No coins were minted in South Wales during 1968, while 82,000,00 (Royal Mint Annual Report 1968 Volume No.99 Image 36 - The Royal Mint Museum) were minted at Tower Hill. During 1969 again there were no coins minted in South Wales, while at Tower Hill 82,660,000 were minted. In 1970 Llantrisant minted 53,200,000 coins while 69,477,350 were minted at Tower Hill, between 1971 & 1972 there were 212,222,000 coins minted at Llantrisant while 5,954,000 were minted at Tower Hill.

Christopher Ironside designed all six new denominations for decimalisation, for which he was awarded the OBE in 1971.

A full set of the new decimal coins were issued in a blue presentation pack, along with an information card for public use.
