H and KN

[Karlos 0]

Hello there,

I am trying to complete a folder of old pennys at the moment. I noticed the folder asks for H and some KN coins, what does that mean?

Thank you.

Hi,

In certain years the production of coins was also carried out by others than the Royal mint. The H refers to coins produced at the Heaton mint (Ralph Heaton & Sons, Birmingham), the KN refers to coins produced at the Kings Norton mint (T.R Bayliss & Son, which became part of Noble Industries).

Coins that were produced at these companies (in many cases) bear a mint mark to show this fact. On pennies it is positioned to the left of the date on the coin.
