Sixpence Coin (6d)

Sixpences or Tanners as they used to be known are a well-known symbol of good luck whether it be an ingredient in the Christmas pudding, or being part of the brides ‘Something Old, Something New’ tradition, and it remains an RAF tradition to this day that sixpences are sewn behind pilot’s wings on their uniform. The sixpence design has changed three times since 1930 with each monarch’s reign. From 1926 to 1936 they featured a design of six oak sprigs divided by six acorns, 1937 to 1952 featured a crown royal cypher, and from 1953 onwards they displayed a floral design of a rose, thistle, shamrock and leek.

We make jewellery from Sixpence coins minted between 1930 to 1970.
Colour finish: Silver. Diameter: 19.4mm.

When to buy Coin Hip Flasks

They are regularly gifted and drunk from on occasions such as:

• Birthdays, Stag Do’s, Hen Do’s, Anniversaries, Weddings, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Graduations, Retirement, ‘just because’ or in memory at funerals.

Whilst predominately hip flasks are perceived as a gift for men, we have an unprecedented number of ladies asking friends to buy these 1947 hip flasks for them too. Who doesn’t like a cheeky tipple, right!?

Whether you, or the recipient enjoy a drink in the great outdoors, maybe a wedding, or a festival, or a Stag or Hen do, these hip flasks make the perfect ‘born in 1947 gifts’ or ‘married in 1947 gifts’. They are a thoughtful gift that will always be appreciated.

They are also a sentimental gift also used by thousands of nervous grooms (and brides) waiting at the altar to steady the wedding day nerves. The coins mounted on the hip flasks often signify an important year for the couple, maybe when they met.

1947 78th Birthday Gifts

These 1947 birth year hip flasks make the best 78th birthday gifts, for a couple of reasons:

For birthdays, the coins used are exactly as old as the recipient who was born in 1947, therefore are a meaningful and thoughtful present. In addition, older coins often bring back memories of the ‘good old days’ and lots of conversations about happy childhoods are evoked by seeing the ‘old money’ once again.

1947 78th Anniversary Gifts

Are you or your partner, friend or relative celebrating 75 years of marriage? Show them how much you love them with these personalised hip flasks, which make a wonderful Wedding Anniversary gift.

Memorial Jewellery- Personalised Hip Flasks

Like the increasingly popular ‘Ashes Jewellery’, our flasks can also poignantly signify the birth year of a loved one that has now passed away. Keep them close by subtly having their birth year on your hip flask. Maybe they always enjoyed a tot of whisky or gin. A touching way to have them ‘with you’ on your special wedding day and raise a glass to absent friends.

Cheers, Santé, Salud, Prost!
