3 Pence coin Guernsey

3 Pence Guernsey (Issued 1959)

The Guernsey threepence was a small pre-decimal coin struck in cupronickel and distinguished by its wavy, scalloped edge, which set it apart from British coinage of the same era and made it easy to pick out by touch. It circulated in the Bailiwick before decimalisation, valued at three of the old pence. The scalloped rim and pale metal gave it a compact, practical form for everyday use.

On the obverse, the coin carries the arms of Guernsey — a shield bearing three lions passant with a small leafy sprig above — surrounded by the Latin legend “S BALLIVIE INSVLE DE GERNEREVE”, the seal of the Bailiwick of the Island of Guernsey. The scalloped edge frames the design.

On the reverse, the word “GUERNSEY” curves across the top above a Guernsey cow shown standing in profile, the breed for which the island is famous. The date “1959” appears beneath the animal, with “THREE PENCE” spelled out around the lower edge.
