C. 1815 Princess Charlotte 1/10 decimal Coin School Merit Money-- First decimal system not wanted in 1813 but it was adopted in the 1970s for Great Britain! These coins were used in Britain and given out for excellence in school studies and could be used in purchasing items for sale or exchanged for money at a few progressive schools in England. These are scarcer than coins for the general public from the Royal mint. Diameter: 20MM Composition: Brass Condition: AUN Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (7 January 1796 – 6 November 1817) was the only child of the ill-fated marriage between George IV (at the time Prince of Wales) and Caroline of Brunswick. Had Princess Charlotte lived, she would have been Queen of the United Kingdom. Princess Charlotte aged 21 soon after her first baby was stillborn. Had she survived, Victoria would have been unlikely to become Queen. Charlotte was the only offspring of George IV and Caroline of Brunswick of whom he was not enamored. Their marriage had broken down before Charlotte was even born, whilst her own blissful union with Leopold of Saxe-Coburg was only to last about 18 months because of her death. Moneyer: Thomas Wright Hill Edge: reeded Ref.: Rodger #290, Batty #4879a Charlotte was the much loved by her countrymen much as Diana was in these days Princess Charlotte was the only child of GEO IV. He did not love her mother Queen Caroline and lived with his mistress. There were no other children to this union. After her death another of her elder uncles wanted to produce an heir for the Kingdom of England so he married and had Victoria and Victoria became Queen. This was the first Country to try the decimal system It came out when the Florin was introduced. The Florin survived and it took until the 1970s for it to be reintroduced to Great Britain and it now uses the decimal system. Shipping to USA and UK is 3.00 Please wait for invoice!
