1979 5 Pence

Ignore the super modern 5 pence, it's just there to show something. So the summer before last I went on Study Abroad to the UK, which is where the smaller 5 pence came from. I've got a friend who lives there, who hooks me up with UK coins. And he gave me the larger 5 pence you see there, because they don't make them in that size now. In comparison the modern 5 pence is about the size of an American dime. Also check out the progression on Elizabeth II's image. It's going to be really weird when I have all of her coins up.
