The threepence, which is often expressed as 3d, is a 12-sided coin that first entered circulation in the mid-16th century during the era of King Edward VI. It was worth 1/80th of a pound, or ¼ of a shilling. The coin, albeit in several incarnations, remained in circulation right up until the decimalisation system came into effect.
