A six pence for a princess

December 9, 1953


A Kent antiques firm today presented Princess Anne, 3, a "392 year old crooked sixpence," reports Reuters.  Her older brother, five-year-old Prince Charless, was given a groat (a four penny coin.)

Both coins were minted during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
