Some coins are 925 sterling silver and some are 50% silver. These coins are old and not mint. They do show wear, see the photos. Ships fast and free. The coins are as follows:Three Pence, 2-1891, 1-1895, 1-1917, 3-1920, 1-1934, for a total of 8 coins weighing 21 grams and the bracelet is 7.5".During the reign of Queen Victoria, three pences were produced both for maundy use and for normal circulation in all years between 1838 and 1901 except 1847, 1848, and 1852 (probably because of the possible advent of a decimal currency at the time, when the 3d at 1/80th of a pound would not have fitted within a decimal system). Currency silver three pences from 1838 to 1926 were of identical design and cannot usually be distinguished except in the best conditions when the higher striking standard of the maundy coins stand out; this resulted in the curious legal anomaly that when the currency was decimalised in 1971 all silver three pences from 1870 onwards were revalued at three new pence, not just the maundy coins. Three pences were produced with both the "young head" (1838–87) and "Jubilee head" (1887–93), inscribed VICTORIA D G BRITANNIAR REGINA F D, while those produced with the "old head" (1893–1901) are inscribed VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP.The reign of King George V (1910–1936) features several changes to the threepence denomination. As with all British silver coins, the silver content was reduced from sterling (0.925) silver to 50% silver, 40% copper, 10% nickel in 1920, 50% silver, 50% copper in 1922, and 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% nickel, 5% zinc in 1927, while the design of the reverse of the circulating threepence (but not the maundy threepence) was completely changed in 1927 to three oak sprigs with three acorns and a "G" in the centre, and the inscription THREE PENCE date. The inscription on the obverse throughout the reign was GEORGIVS V D G BRITT OMN REX F D IND IMP.
