These keyrings have been skilfully handmade from vintage 1958 Sixpence coins perfect for a 65th birthday gift for him, 65th birthday gift for her or a 65th Anniversary gift. William IV sixpences have a simpler reverse, composed of the words SIX PENCE in the middle, with a crown above, the date below, and a wreath surrounding. With the exception of a withdrawn 1887 issue, Victoria and Edward VII sixpences share this reverse. [24] The reverse of the 1887 issue is broadly the same as the post-1816 George III coins. This reverse is shared with the half-sovereign, and since the two are of a similar size, a problem arose with people passing off sixpences as half-sovereigns. The government agreed to remove the coin from circulation in November 1887 and change the reverse. [25]
The sixpence coins of the Victorian era were minted in silver, resulting in them being more valuable than the later versions of the sixpence. That being said, there is a lot of variation in the selling price of this version of the coin and it is highly dependent on its date and quality. The sixpence, known colloquially as the tanner or half-shilling, was a British pre-decimal coin worth six pence, 1/40th of a pound sterling. Early sixpences of James I feature the alternative reverse inscription EXVRGAT DEVS DISSIPENTVR INIMICI, meaning " Let God arise and His enemies be scattered", becoming QVAE DEVS CONIVNXIT NEMO SEPARET, meaning " What God hath put together let no man put asunder" after 1604. [19] Charles I sixpences follow the usual design, except that coins minted after 1630 do not bear a date, and the reverse inscription reads CHRISTO AVSPICE REGNO, meaning " I reign under the auspices of Christ". [20] In 2016, new decimal sixpences began being minted by the Royal Mint as commemorative issues to celebrate Christmas; these coins have been produced for each year since, and are minted in sterling silver.

The first sixpence to be minted under her reign was the ‘Young Head Victoria’ sixpence which featured her portrait as a young woman on the obverse with ribbons tied in her hair.

The expression "to go on a bender" (to indulge in a binge drinking session) derives from this meaning when one could drink all day in taverns for six pence. [30]
