| Aanvullende informatie |
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the British government was under mounting pressure to decimalise its currency — a reform that had been proposed, debated, and shelved repeatedly since the 18th century. Pattern pieces were struck experimentally during this period to test denominations and sizes before any public commitment was made. The Halsbury Committee, appointed in 1961, ultimately recommended full decimalisation, though the actual transition didn't occur until 1971.
This piece predates that decision by months, placing it squarely in the exploratory phase rather than any confirmed production program.
