A collection of UK sixpence coins housed in a Whitman blue card coin folder, number 9690. The collection spans the reigns of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, covering the years 1937 to 1967. The George VI issues (1937-1952) feature the bare-headed obverse portrait designed by Hugh Paget. Coins dated 1937 to 1946 are struck in 0.500 fine silver, while the issues from 1947 to 1952 are struck in cupro-nickel. The Elizabeth II issues (1953-1967) are struck in cupro-nickel and feature the laureated bust obverse designed by Mary Gillick. The George VI reverses display a crowned monogram, with the legend omitting IND. IMP. from 1949 onwards following Indian independence. The Elizabeth II reverses feature a central floral motif incorporating a rose, thistle, shamrock, and leek. The folder was manufactured by the Whitman Hobby Division of Western Publishing Company, Inc., Racine, Wisconsin, with a copyright date of 1961. Several slots in the final section intended for later dates remain unfilled.
