The first sixpence to be minted under her reign was the ‘Young Head Victoria’ sixpence which featured her portrait as a young woman on the obverse with ribbons tied in her hair.

The Queen Elizabeth II series of pre-decimal coins have been issued in Sherwood Sets of all six denominations. The sixpence coins of the Victorian era were minted in silver, resulting in them being more valuable than the later versions of the sixpence.

Most sixpences are worth more than this simply due to their collectability, and in this article, we will dive into some of the rarest sixpences of the 20th century.
