https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/09/24/my-coin-collection-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 30 Sep 2022 07:18:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/09/24/my-coin-collection-o/#comment-1485268 Fri, 30 Sep 2022 07:18:20 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=193135#comment-1485268 How fascinating. I’ve had 5 silver threepenny bits with holes through them since the 1950s. Tiny little coins. I don’t recall where they originated from, but presumed they may have well made up part of a bracelet at one time.

Farthings went out of circulation in the year I was born, 1961, but I remember the pretty design with the little wren.
My favourite coin is the 5 Franc piece here in Switzerland- it’s big and reminds me of chocolate Christmas money ☺️
