<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2778884, member: 76965&quot;]I remember posting something about this on CT some time ago. As I recall, the first time dates appeared on British coinage was during the reign of Edward VI (son of Henry VIII and brother of Elizabeth I). This practice was then discontinued and dates were reintroduced by Elizabeth during the last two years of her reign on some coins. The smaller silver denominations had the full date 1601 and 1602 whereas the larger coins only had 1 and 2 struck on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dates were once again discontinued for many years after her death.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
