What happened in 1971?

1971 was a year of significant events and milestones, both in the UK and around the world. Here are some interesting facts to consider when choosing a gift:

• In the UK, decimalisation was introduced on 15 February 1971, marking a major change in the country’s currency system.
• The first ever email was sent in 1971, marking the beginning of a digital revolution that would transform the way we communicate.
• Apollo 14 landed on the moon in 1971, with astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell becoming the fifth and sixth humans to walk on the lunar surface.

The coins that were in circulation in the UK in 1971 were the half penny and the new penny. The half penny was made of bronze and featured a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side and a crowned portcullis on the reverse. The new penny was also made of bronze and featured the same portrait of the Queen on the obverse, but a crowned lion standing on the crown on the reverse.

At Heads and Tails Jewellery, we specialise in transforming these historic coins into beautiful and unique pieces of jewellery. Our collection includes cufflinks, necklaces, keyrings, hip flasks, tie clips, money clips and coin rings, all made from genuine 1971 half penny or new penny coins.
