The British sixpence is equivalent to six pennies. This denomination of coin was used by the British empire from the mid-fifteen hundreds to 1967.
Back in the middle ages, people were very superstitous. They used good luck charms to ward evil spirits away. In the 1600s, it was custom for the Lord of the Manor to give the bride a piece of silver, a sixpence piece, as a wedding gift.
The tradition continues today for a bride to have a British sixpence in her left shoe as a symbol of good luck. Some brides wish to find a sixpence minted in the year of parents or grandparents birth, wedding or other important family occasion.
This wedding tradition can be continued through the generations. You can place the sixpence coin in a wedding album and pass it on to daughters (or daughters-in-law) to wear as a token of good luck on their special day.
