      <image:caption>The sovereign is a British gold coin with a nominal value of one pound sterling (£1) and contains 0.2354 troy ounces (113.0 gr; 7.32 g) of pure gold. Struck since 1817, it was originally a circulating coin that was accepted in Britain and elsewhere in the world; it is now a bullion coin and is sometimes mounted in jewellery. In addition, circulation strikes and proof examples are often collected for their numismatic value. In most recent years, it has borne the design of Saint George and the Dragon on the reverse; the initials (B P) of the designer, Benedetto Pistrucci, are visible to the right of the date.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Silver tea services have been made since the late 18th century, as before this each piece would have their own designs and trends. Silver tea services were originally designed for the upper classes of society and whilst they are not often used for their original purpose, silver tea services are collected for their historical and decorative appeal. The value of a silver tea service is affected by various factors including the maker, age, condition and rarity. The maker can have a significant impact on the value, as pieces made by well-known silversmiths such as Paul Storr or Georg Jensen can command much higher prices than those made by lesser known makers. Age also plays a role, with older pieces being more desirable and therefore having a higher value.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Krugerrand (/ˈkruːɡərænd/;[1] Afrikaans: [ˈkry.ərˌrant]) is a South African coin, first minted on 3 July 1967 to help market South African gold and produced by Rand Refinery and the South African Mint.[2][3] The name is a compound of Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic (depicted on the obverse), and rand, the South African unit of currency. On the reverse side of the Krugerrand is a pronking springbok, South Africa's national animal. By 1980, the Krugerrand accounted for more than 90% of the global gold coin market and was the number one choice for investors buying gold. However, during the 1980s and 1990s, Krugerrands fell out of favor as some Western countries forbade import of the Krugerrand because of its association with the apartheid government of South Africa.[4][5] Although gold Krugerrand coins have no face value, they are considered legal tender in South Africa by the South African Reserve Bank Act (SARBA) of 1989.</image:caption>

The Britannia Coin Company is a UK's leading online coin buyer. That means we buy a lot of pre-1947 silver coins. But what's so special about silver coins minted before 1947? And how do you know what your silver coins are worth? Our Pre-Decimal Silver Coin Valuation Calculator can help. Pre-Decimal Silver Coins Explained Have you ever wondered what your old loose change is worth? If your coins were minted before 1947, it might be more than you think. In the past, British coins were made of precious metals like gold and silver. This means that old money can be worth much more than its face value. For centuries, the Royal Mint made their silver coins from sterling silver: an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver. From 1920 the amount of silver in British coins was reduced to 50%. The silver content was entirely removed from 1947 and coins were instead made of silver-coloured cupronickel. If you have Crowns, Half-Crowns, Florins, Shillings, Sixpences, or Three Penny Pieces with a pre-1947 date on them, they likely contain a significant amount of silver. Regardless of the condition of your coins, their silver content makes them valuable and we're eager to buy them from you. The History of British Silver Coins Silver coins were part of British currency for more than two millennia. If you're thinking of selling your silver coins, it's important to understand their history. When your coins were minted can tell you how much pure silver they contain and, therefore, how much they are worth. 1154 Henry II becomes King of England. During his reign, earlier pure silver coins would be replaced with stronger sterling silver coins, made of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. 1551 Tudor King Edward VI increases the fineness of his silver coins after decades of debasement. Britain would return to the sterling standard under his sister Mary I. 1816 Britain has won the Napoleonic Wars at enormous cost. Economic stability is achieved through re-coinage, which establishes a standard weight-value ratio for silver coins. 1920 The silver content in British coins is reduced from 92.5% to 50%, in response to a rise in the price of silver bullion. The remaining weight is made up of copper and nickel. 1947 Silver is needed to repay the USA for debts incurred during World War Two. The metal is removed from British coins altogether and replaced with silver-coloured cupronickel. 1971 Decimalisation: the Shilling and Sixpence are abolished and new 5p, 10p and 50p coins are introduced. The Crown, Half-Crown and Florin had already ceased to be minted. 1992 New decimal coins are initially minted in the same size as older silver coins. In 1992, more convenient smaller coins are introduced. It’s these that you’ll find in your change today.

If you're shopping around, you'll often find prices based on multiples of the same face value. For instance, you might be quoted a price for eight pre-1947 Shillings or twenty pre-1920 Sixpences. As our valuations are based on weight, making a direct comparison might seem difficult. If you want to compare our prices with another deal, use the 'Calculate by Face Value' and 'Calculate by Denomination' tabs to compare like for like. Our tool means you can make an unbiased comparison. We're confident our prices are competitive but it pays to do your research. Calculate Pre-1947 Silver Coin Weight Our calculator works best when you know the weight of your Pre-1947 coins. Simply weigh, enter the figure and go. But what if you don't have a set of scales? No problem. You can still estimate the weight of your silver coins because each type of coin has a standard weight. Pre-decimal Silver Coin Weight Crown 28.28 grams Half-Crown 14.14 grams Florin 11.31 grams Shilling 5.65 grams Sixpence (6d) 2.83 grams Three pence (3d) 1.4 grams Coins wear down over the years, so old silver coins may weigh a little less than when they were first minted. Still, if you know the standard, fresh off the press weight, you can make a calculation to figure out the approximate total weight of your silver coins. Here's how: If you have coins from before 1920 and after, separate them into two piles: one for 1919 and earlier and another for 1920 to 1946. Sort your coins by denomination: make piles for Crowns, Half-Crowns, Florins, Shillings, Sixpences and Three Penny Pieces if you have them. With each of these smaller piles, times the number of coins by the weight listed in the table above. So, if you have twelve Florins, calculate 12 x 11.31. Repeat this process for each denomination then add all the totals together to get the total weight of your silver coins. Input that figure into our Pre-Decimal Silver Coin Value Calculator, making separate valuations for your pre-1920 and pre-1947 coins. Simple as that. Find The Face Value of Pre-Decimal Coins If you want a price based on the face value of your silver coins, simply switch to the 'Calculate by Face Value' tab. This will give you the option to input the stated value of your silver coins in Pounds, Shillings and Pence. Not confident using old money? Don't worry. Here's what to do: Separate your pre-1920 silver coins from those dated 1920-1946 then sort by denomination. Starting with the highest denomination, sort your coins into £1 piles, checking the table below to see how many of each coin make a Pound. When you don't have sufficient coins left to make a Pound, count up how many Shillings your coins can make – it should be 19 or less. When you no longer have enough coins to make a Shilling, count up how many Three Penny Pieces you have left – there should be no more than three. Voila! The number of Pounds, Shillings and Pence your collection divides into gives you the total. Input this into the Pre-Decimal Silver Coin Value Calculator for a price. Pre-decimal Silver Coins Number in Pound Number in Shilling Crown 4 - Half-Crown 8 - Florin 10 - Shilling 20 - Sixpence (6d) 40 2 Threepence (3d) 80 4 A Clear Price For Pre-Decimal Coins Is this making your head spin? That's alright. You can also calculate the value of your pre-1947 silver coins by denomination. Simply sort your coins by type, switch to the 'Calculate by Denomination' tab, and enter the number you have of each. No need to worry about old money maths! Whichever method you use, you still need to make separate calculations based on the age of your coins. Pre-1920 silver coins are worth more than those made between 1920 and 1947, so remember to check the date and select the right time period for an accurate valuation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The sovereign is a British gold coin with a nominal value of one pound sterling (£1) and contains 0.2354 troy ounces (113.0 gr; 7.32 g) of pure gold. Struck since 1817, it was originally a circulating coin that was accepted in Britain and elsewhere in the world; it is now a bullion coin and is sometimes mounted in jewellery. In addition, circulation strikes and proof examples are often collected for their numismatic value. In most recent years, it has borne the design of Saint George and the Dragon on the reverse; the initials (B P) of the designer, Benedetto Pistrucci, are visible to the right of the date.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Krugerrand is a South African coin, first minted on 3 July 1967 to help market South African gold and produced by Rand Refinery and the South African Mint. The name is a compound of Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic (depicted on the obverse), and rand, the South African unit of currency. On the reverse side of the Krugerrand is a pronking springbok, South Africa's national animal. By 1980, the Krugerrand accounted for more than 90% of the global gold coin market and was the number one choice for investors buying gold. However, during the 1980s and 1990s, Krugerrands fell out of favor as some Western countries forbade import of the Krugerrand because of its association with the apartheid government of South Africa.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Silver Tea Sets and Flatware Silver tea sets and flatware are prized for their elegance, craftsmanship, and intrinsic precious metal value. Traditionally made from sterling silver (925), these items often include teapots, coffee pots, sugar bowls, cream jugs, trays, and full or partial flatware services. Antique and vintage silver tea sets are particularly sought after, with value influenced by the maker, age, condition, weight, and hallmarks. Well-known British silversmiths such as Elkington, Walker &amp; Hall, Mappin &amp; Webb, and other established makers are especially desirable. Flatware sets may range from everyday patterns to ornate designs produced for formal dining. The value of silver tea sets and flatware is determined by a combination of silver content and market demand. Complete matched sets generally achieve higher prices, although individual pieces and mixed sets can still hold significant value due to their silver weight. Even worn, damaged, or incomplete items may remain valuable for their intrinsic silver content. Whether inherited, gifted, or purchased as an investment, professional valuation ensures you receive an accurate and competitive assessment based on current silver prices and collector demand.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bullion Silver Bars and Coins Bullion silver bars and coins are popular investment assets valued primarily for their silver content and purity, rather than rarity or collectability. Typically struck in .999 fine silver, bullion items closely track the live silver spot price, making them a straightforward and transparent way to invest in physical precious metals. Common bullion silver coins include Britannias, Canadian Maple Leafs, American Silver Eagles, Philharmonics, and other internationally recognised issues. Silver bars are available in a wide range of weights, from small fractional bars to larger investment bars, often produced by reputable refiners and mints. The value of bullion silver bars and coins is influenced by the current silver price, weight, purity, and overall condition. While most bullion pieces carry minimal numismatic premium, certain coins and limited mintages may command additional value depending on market demand. Whether you are buying or selling, accurate valuation is essential. Even damaged, tarnished, or mixed bullion silver items can still hold strong value due to their intrinsic metal content. A professional appraisal ensures pricing is aligned with live market rates and avoids unnecessary loss.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sterling silver cutlery canteens are highly sought after for their craftsmanship, intrinsic silver value, and timeless elegance. Traditionally comprising a full dining service housed in a fitted wooden case, these canteens often include knives, forks, spoons, and serving pieces made from hallmarked sterling silver (925). Antique and vintage sterling silver cutlery canteens are especially desirable, with popular makers including Walker &amp; Hall, Mappin &amp; Webb, Elkington, and other renowned British silversmiths. Value is influenced by several factors, including total silver weight, condition, completeness of the set, maker’s marks, age, and the quality of the original canteen. Whether inherited, gifted, or purchased as an investment, sterling silver cutlery canteens can hold significant monetary value. Even incomplete or worn sets may still be valuable due to their silver content. Many buyers seek both full silver-handled knife sets and all-sterling pieces, depending on age and pattern. If you are looking to sell a sterling silver cutlery canteen, a professional valuation ensures you receive a realistic and competitive offer based on current silver prices and market demand.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bullion Silver Bars and Coins Bullion silver bars and coins are popular investment assets valued primarily for their silver content and purity, rather than rarity or collectability. Typically struck in .999 fine silver, bullion items closely track the live silver spot price, making them a straightforward and transparent way to invest in physical precious metals. Common bullion silver coins include Britannias, Canadian Maple Leafs, American Silver Eagles, Philharmonics, and other internationally recognised issues. Silver bars are available in a wide range of weights, from small fractional bars to larger investment bars, often produced by reputable refiners and mints. The value of bullion silver bars and coins is influenced by the current silver price, weight, purity, and overall condition. While most bullion pieces carry minimal numismatic premium, certain coins and limited mintages may command additional value depending on market demand. Whether you are buying or selling, accurate valuation is essential. Even damaged, tarnished, or mixed bullion silver items can still hold strong value due to their intrinsic metal content. A professional appraisal ensures pricing is aligned with live market rates and avoids unnecessary loss.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Silver pocket watches, silver lights, and 18 carat gold items are highly valued for their precious metal content, craftsmanship, and historical appeal. These items often feature British hallmarks, allowing accurate identification of metal purity, maker, and date. Antique silver pocket watches may range from key-wind and fusee examples to later lever movements, with value influenced by condition, maker, functionality, and silver weight. While some watches carry collector or horological interest, even non-working examples can retain strong value due to their silver cases. Silver lights—including candlesticks, candelabra, and table lighting—are sought after both as decorative antiques and for their intrinsic silver content. Value is determined by weight, completeness, condition, and whether pieces are filled or solid silver. 18 carat gold items, hallmarked 750, include jewellery, watches, and decorative pieces. Their value is influenced by gold weight, condition, design, and market demand, with prices closely linked to the current gold price. Broken or unwanted gold items can still hold significant value due to their high gold content. A professional valuation ensures accurate pricing based on live precious metal prices and current market demand, whether items are antique, vintage, or modern.</image:caption>
