Today we take a closer look at the Threepence as we continue our overview series in which I aim to highlight each denomination of circulating coins in Australia!
Let me know if you have any threepences in your collection, or if you've ever found one in your food!
For a range of coins, banknotes and collectables, come on down to www.ThompsonsCoins.com

The coin features 3 stalks of wheat. A bundle of stalks is a sheaf. Each stalk of wheat contains 50 kernels or grains of wheat. Nice shirt 👕 👍

Christmas pudding was the 925 sixpence, we all had a stir of the mix before cooking and if you got one in your bowl it was good luck.

Tough question on what the coin depicts, it could be 3 heads of wheat with a few inches of stem on them or it could be 3 stalks of wheat because it includes some stem on each head. I'd lean more to calling them heads, because as an agronomist if I asked someone to bring me 3 stalks of wheat and they cut them that short I'd be disapointed, while if I asked for 3 heads of wheat and they cut them that long I wouldn't care. Also a grain is just what we call seeds from cereal crops, like wheat barley and oats.

Indeed! Fortunately the copies looked even worse than the real ones so they are usually pretty easy to pick up on 🤣 I love the 38 crowns!! One of my favorite pre decimal coins actually! Best of luck with your detecting journey too!

Mum use to boil the living daylights out of the three pence and six pence coins prior to putting them into the pudding. Mum placed a value on them so a three pence may have been worth 10 cents and a six pence 20 cents. In that way the coins were returned and not taken. Here’s some trivia for you. I think it was in England but a young girl stopped talking not long after Christmas one year. Doctors said she was faking it but she never spoke again. Many many years later she had a fit of coughing and she coughed up a blood clot. Upon examination they found a coin in the middle of it and not long after she started to regain her speech. It’s thought she had gotten the coin from the Christmas pudding and it had lodged in her vocal cords and stopped her vocal cord from vibrating and over the years the body tried to fight it and covered the coin in what looked like a blood clot. My Mother use to count all the coins going into the pudding and all those collected. No one ever swallowed one or broke a tooth as we knew to be careful. That might be why I like the Wheat Sheath One Dollar coin. 😅
