John's Collectables

We've all probably now seen the King Charles banknotes which have been in circulation for a couple of weeks. The two King Charles 50p coins have been in circulation for a bit longer so we all should recognise them now. BUT how many of you remember the old ten shilling note?
On decimalisation in 1971 this was replaced by the 50p coin.
Examples of all the old notes and coins are available now on John's Collectables stall in

Thursday 6th June is the 80th Anniversary of the D - Day Landings by British and allied troops on the beaches of Normandy, France. This turned out to be one of the most crucial actions of the Second World War leading to the defeat of Germany.

In 1994 the Royal Mint comemmorated this event with the issue of a 50p coin showing the landings themselves.

The most recent arrival on my stall.
A Greek 10 lepta coin from the reign of King George in 1912.
The lepta was the smallest unit of Greek currrency and was always equivalent to 100th of the principal unit i.e. the drachma at that time.
