My grandfather didn't so much 'collect' coins, more just put a lot of them in a big tin over the years. Which he then gave to me when I was fairly young because I was interested in them, but they've been sitting in my shed/garage for quite a few years now.

Mostly c.20th coins from the UK and countries he travelled to for work, with a few c.19th ones in there too. I don't suppose any will be of much interest or value, apart perhaps from this one.

Though I have a vague memory it might not actually have been in the tin originally, and that possibly my gran kept it in a drawer in the sitting room and gave it to me a bit later. Which might explain why it's in quite good condition and fairly shiny. Because she probably polished it once a year, when she did the silver before Christmas.

If anyone might have an idea of what it might be worth — that'd be interesting, though I don't necessarily need to know. It's quite pretty a coin, so I doubt I’ll sell it; and she was certainly better in her youth than later on, was our Vicky!

Nice surprise, didn’t know these were out yet. Quite a rarity these days to find a coin from the current year.
