1966 British two shilling button
The British two shilling coin -- also known as two bob or a florin (not to be confused with the mediaeval gold florin, which was worth six shillings) -- was minted from the middle of the 19th Century until 1968. They remained in circulation until they were demonetised in 1993. It was worth a tenth of a pound, or twenty-four old pence. This is the reverse of the Elizabeth II florin. The device represents the Tudor rose (for England) the thistle (for Scotland) the shamrock (for Ireland) and the leek (for Wales). The leek. Seriously. I think Wales could have done better. This coin was 75% copper, 25% nickel, 28.52 mm in diameter, 2.5 mm in thickness, 11.3 grams in weight -- quite a substantial coin to hold in your hand! 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!

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.

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
