A comparison between a 1902 pre-decimal UK Penny and a 1967 example.
My family has had a lot of pre-decimal pennies as part of a many tins of coins passed down through the generations, I figured it'd be interesting to check them to see what years were on them so I went through this set to count and compare. the third picture shows the final breakdown of what years were present with a curious gap between 1937 and 1961. The oldest and youngest ones are compared in the main photos and it's a rather stark contrast of condition, I can only imagine how many times the former coin got used before it's retirement.
