A classic statement piece with real British history behind it.
This British sixpence tie pin features a genuine vintage sixpence, carefully soldered onto a classic silver-plated tie pin and finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop. Understated and timeless, it’s designed for men who appreciate meaningful details rather than loud accessories.
Because you can choose the year, this piece becomes more than just an accessory - it becomes personal. Whether worn on a wedding day, at a formal event, or kept as a personal talisman, this is a piece that carries both story and substance.
This piece can be upgraded with our Mintique of Cambridge luxury branded jewellery box, designed to complement the heritage nature of our jewellery and make the unboxing experience feel truly special. Perfect for gifting.
Please note: Images may show multiple tie pins to illustrate different dates and designs. This listing is for one (1) tie pin, made with the year you select.
Depending on the year selected, the sixpence will feature one of two monarchs:
Both versions carry the familiar sixpence design and deep-rooted associations with good fortune, prosperity, and British tradition. Please note that coins dated 1952 are not available due to very low mintage of sixpences that year.
