All British Coinage Minted Since 1702

Can you name all British circulating coins minted since the reign of Queen Anne?
I only chose this point as the cutoff because its the furthest back that my source goes
Years of circulation only indicate the first year of issue, compared to the last. Detailing all gap periods would be too much work.

Good quiz idea. You could accept things like "pound coin" as well; that's the normal name for that coin. I tried "thruppence" as well, but maybe adding all those kind of words would be going too far.

this needs a lot more type-ins

A shilling wasn't 5d, it was 12d! Cost me a good answer.

Strange quiz, you just type out the words for the figures in a lot of them.

And we use the word 'quarter' in the UK rather than 'fourth' for fractions - quarter should be accepted as well.

Two Shillings should I think be accepted for the Florin as that's what they had written on them, at least the most recently minted ones did, see 1947 for example. Great quiz though!

The florin had its name changed in 1936, to Two Shilling and the 50p, 10p and 5p all had large designs:

50p changed in 1997

10p changed in 1992

5p changed in 1990
