Sixpences were used not only in England but throughout the British Kingdom, including Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.<p> We'll ship you a genuine old sixpence from Ireland, all of which are over 50 years. These coins feature the Brian Boru harp, the national symbol of Ireland since the 13th century.<p> These coins are uncommon and our supply is very limited, so we cannot guarantee a particular date. Each handpicked and polished coin will arrive in our beautiful acid free sixpence wedding card with matching envelope, a keepsake to be passed down to future generations of lucky brides. We've left space on the back of the card for a handwritten note to the bride.
