    Description

    This is a set of the first decimal issue coins for the country of Bermuda issued on D-Day February 6th 1970 after 300 years of £.S.D. Bermuda changed to decimal currency. The set includes: a one cent coin (also called the hog penny because it features a wild boar on the reverse) composed of bronze, measuring 19mm in diameter and 1.4mm in thickness weighing 3.11g; a five cent coin featuring a Queen Angelfish on the reverse composed of copper-nickel measuring 21.2mm in diameter and 1.8mm in thickness and weighing 5g; a ten cent coin featuring a Bermuda Lily on the reverse composed of copper-nickel measuring 17.8mm in diameter and 1.3mm in thickness and weighing 2.45g; a twenty-five cent coin featuring a white-tailed tropicbird on the reverse composed of copper-nickel measuring 24mm in diameter and 1.6mm in thickness and weighing 5.92g; and lastly a fifty cent coin featuring Bermuda's coat of arms on the reverse composed of copper-nickel measuring 30.5mm in diameter and 2.3mm in thickness and weighing 12.42g. All coins feature a young bust of Queen Elizabeth II on the front and were designed by Arnold Machin with all reverse designs by Michael Rizzello. All coins are round with an up-up orientation. The one cent and five cent coins have a smooth edge whereas the ten cent, twenty-five cent and fifty cent coins have a reeded edge. The case that holds these coins has cracks in the plastic but all coins are in mint state sixty-three condition or better but that is just my opinion as I have been collecting coins for over fifty years, please judge the conditions for yourself through the pictures.
