From Christmas to weddings, the sixpence has been associated with special occasions for centuries. It has long been tradition to include one in Christmas puddings or in the shoe of a bride fulfilling the traditional rhyme ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe’. Symbolising luck and good fortune, the coin returns in 2023 and features a unique design in honour of the year of His Majesty King Charles III’s coronation.
