Born or Married in 1937 Gifts
As for historical facts, 1937 was an eventful year both in the UK and around the world. Here are some interesting facts to pique your interest:
- The year 1937 saw the coronation of King George VI, who succeeded his brother Edward VIII after he abdicated the throne. The coronation was a grand spectacle, attended by royalty from around the world.
- On a more somber note, 1937 was also the year of the Hindenburg disaster, a catastrophic fire that destroyed the LZ 129 Hindenburg airship during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey, USA.
Now, let’s talk about coins! In 1937, two types of coins that were in circulation in the UK: the sixpence and the shilling. Here’s a little bit more about each coin:
- The sixpence was made of silver and featured a portrait of King George VI on one side, and a crowned sixpence on the other. It was a widely used coin for various transactions and was often given as a good luck charm or wedding gift. Today, many people enjoy collecting sixpence coins for their historical significance and sentimental value.
- The shilling, meanwhile, was made of silver and had a similar design to the penny, with King George VI on one side and a crowned lion standing on its hind legs on the other. The shilling was worth 12 pennies and was a common coin used for larger purchases.
