A Set of Housey Money: Halfpenny, Penny and the Scarce Sixpence
Active
Between 1800 and 1862, spanning the date of the first Founder's Day Dinner, CH issued its own coins, a halfpenny, a penny and a sixpence, known as Housey Money. They were specially minted for pupils, who had to exchange real money for them and spend them in the school shop. On offer is a set of all three coins, including the scarce sixpence, which is rarely offered for sale. Includes a copy of the CH Heritage Series booklet 'Badges, Prizes and Tokens'. Proceeds shared equally between Christ's Hospital and the CH Museum.
