Part of Danbury's marketing: "Over 50 years ago, the legendary Royal Mint struck the last circulating sixpence coin in a historic series that dates back over 450 years to the era shortly after the death of King Henry VIII. The beloved sixpence was one of Britain's most prized coins and so treasured that it became tradition for the coin to be slipped into a bride's shoe or hidden in the traditional Christmas pudding as a "good luck" charm."
