England / Great Britain / United Kingdom

For coins from this country in what year do they stop and start?

England are the older coins but what year do they stop?

The last monarch that was solely England's King is WIlliam III whose coinage goes to around 1700.  Then Queen Anne is the first monarch listed as "United Kingdom"  Her coinage starts 1702.

The union of England (and Wales) and Scotland into Great Britain took effect 1 May 1707 (they had shared monarchs since 1603).

The union of Great Britain and Ireland as the United Kingdom took effect 1 January 1801 (most of Ireland became independent in 1922).

Isn't it strange that someone from New Zealand, and someone from the United States knows more about English history than someone born here?  

What do (did) they teach us in school?
Oh yes, my history lessons were mostly on the Pharaohs and post-war industry.  

To be honest, I'm learning more about British Monarchs and world geography collecting and sorting through coins than I ever did at school.

Thanks for the info guys.

Fun facts:
The families of the British Monarchy (Hannover) and the Prussian Monarchy were intertwined since the 1500's.
George I spoke little English.
George V was the cousin of the German Emperor.
The British house names were German or German related from 1714 to 1916(?).

In your opinion they are, I find that you're just posting for the sake of it in some circumstances.

King Wiliam  III of England was a Dutch man, they say he was homoseksual, but because that was illegal in that time, he married Queen Mary.

Henry VIII had 6 wives, 3 of whom were names Catherine and 2 Anne.

Yes very good, you can read Wikipedia, but this has nothing to do with the initial question which was what year do coins cease to be England and start being United Kingdom.  

I agree with Mark, you seem to just type things for the sake of it, and perhaps because you're a bit insecure and want to sound smart.

Actually, the UK is an early form of a united Europe :-)

It started with Celts, then the Romans dropped by (although in small numbers only), the Anglo-Saxons arrived just after, then the Vikings settled there and after  that William the Conqueror brought the French influence. A few centuries later, a Dutchman became king of England. Thus, the UK is the result of Celtic-Italian-German-Scandinavian-French-Dutch melting pot.

Okay, they do things differently than on the continent, but the country's ethnic history is pretty diverse.

Let's go back to the original question from mcshilling

that's exactly why i like so much collecting coins!
i'm a geography and history addict, with the coins i have get the great opportunity to discover more and more about these two domains

Been researching for hours and it led me to here. Found an odd coin in my change jar and have been trying to figure out what it is. Being here in the United States, near Ontario Canada I originally thought it to be a cannadian coin. Now I believe it is a 2005 UK one penny. Why is it that I can't find much information or pictures for that year? I am just trying to verify what it is I found and would like to see an image for the same year. I don't know much about coins. It is magnetic, I checked after finding that information.

Hi, here's the link to the UK 2005 1 Penny.

Thank you, not sure why I can't find an image for an actual 2005 coin though?

Here's one:
http://www.catawiki.com/catalog/coins/countries/united-kingdom/1672915-united-kingdom-1-penny-2005

That type of coin was minted for 11 consecutive years, with over 7 billion minted and in circulation, and they're still in circulation now, so unless a coin is for sale, like the link above, people won't necessary take a picture of a specific year.

I completely agree, it has shocked me how little I do actually know about our monarchs, I have found coins from countries I never knew existed.
