Everyone loves a great beginning so start your favorite couple off with some good luck on their wedding day. The wedding tradition of placing a sixpence in the bride's shoe began in the Victorian age and sparked the rhyme "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in your shoe". The sixpence should be worn in the bride's left shoe. Gift the groom with good luck by adding a genuine Irish penny to his suit pocket. The keepsake coin should be carried in his suit or coat pocket while walking down the isle. The Irish Penny was minted from 1928 and 1968 and was designed by Percy Metcalfe. The modern day British Sixpence was minted from 1947 to 1970 and was designed by Mary Gillick, Edgar Fuller and Cecil Thomas. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, coin years will vary.
