💎 AUSTRALIAN THREEPENCE COIN LORE:
The Australian Threepence coin was first minted in 1910 and remained in circulation until 1964. Struck in 50% silver, these coins hold both historical and precious metal value. They were part of Australia’s pre-decimal currency system, where twelve pence made up a shilling, and twenty shillings made up a pound. Over the years, these small yet beautiful coins traveled through countless hands and everyday moments in Australian life, making each one a little piece of history.
Turning a coin into a ring has long symbolized transformation and endurance. Once a simple piece of currency, the coin becomes something wearable and personal, imbued with new meaning while still carrying its past. Coin rings are often seen as a token of luck, prosperity, and connection to history. Many also choose them as a way to wear something tangible from a meaningful year, whether it's a birth year, anniversary, or just a year that feels special.
I love this ring SO much! Such a gorgeous idea and finished to a high standard. Delivery was super quick and the communication was speedy and professional. Thanks so much Gem&Tonik I'll be back for sure!!! Highly recommend ☺️
