About This Design
1944 British three pence button
The British three pence (thruppence or thrupenny bit) was irregularly minted between about 1547 and currency decimalisation in 1971. It was valued at three pence (3d), 80 thruppence to a pound, four thruppence to a shilling. It appeared in a variety of metals, sizes and designs throughout its life. "Thrup'ney bits" is also cockney rhyming slang for breasts. This thruppence was designed for Edward VIII before he abdicated in 1936, and appeared through the reign of George VI. It is 6.8 grams of nickel-brass, twelve-sided, 20mm at the narrowest and 21mm at the points. The flowers are thrift (also called "sea thrift" or "sea pink"), suggestive of being thrifty with money. UK currency was decimalised in 1971. This coin is pre-decimal currency and is no longer legal tender.

Really great template to create the badge - easy to use, clear and plenty of options. I chose to add my own artwork, and this was pretty easy to do and make adjustments, too. Good value I think too. Especially if ordering a large number. I initially have had one made, to see the quality of the product and speed of service. I will soon be ordering over 100, as the quality was excellent - colours, sharpness, positioning of artwork - all spot-on. And my order arrived pretty quickly as well!

I wanted a new badge for my collection and what better than this cute kitty! I’m a huge animal lover and especially cats so I couldn’t say no! Brilliant colour and clarity

Really nice quality badge. It’s great to wear in public so I don’t need to explain my tics. The badge is a great size and made very well. The pin works well. Nice printing and clear to read.
