Overview
A 12-sided dodecahedral coin featuring a thrift plant (Sea Pink) with three flower heads on the reverse, and the words 'THREE PENCE' and the year '1944'.
Historical significance
Introduced in 1937 to replace the small silver threepence, its distinct 12-sided shape made it easy to recognize by touch, which was particularly useful durante the blackouts of World War II.
Estimated value
$0.50 - $5.00 (depending on condition)
Care & preservation
Handle by the edges only to avoid fingerprint oils. Store in a cool, dry place in a non-PVC coin holder. Do not clean with chemicals or abrasives, as this can destroy the numismatic value.
