PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
Delightful cards which reproduce designs from early 20th century postcards; each with a genuine sixpence coin to send good fortune along with your Birthday-best wishes. With three designs including the original birthday greeting printed on the card-fronts, and one as ‘A Cheery Greeting in Remembrance kind To show that out of Sight’s not out of Mind’. The sixpence has long been considered lucky; silver was thought to ward off evil spirits in the medieval period but the Ancient Greeks are thought to have been the first to believe that a person should always carry a coin, giving rise to the tradition of including a coin in gifts of purses and wallets to promote prosperity. The front of the cards read: ‘With Best Wishes For A Happy Birthday’, ‘Birthday Greetings’, ‘Best Birthday Wishes’, and ‘A Cheery Greeting in Remembrance kind To show that out of Sight’s not out of Mind’.
Made exclusively for Museum Selection.

Pretty cards with a unique point of interest - the genuine sixpence. Choice of four different designs so a good purchase. One negative point is that they are a bit small in size.

Really lovely, unique cards. Fast delivery and reasonably priced. Was looking for something a little different, and I’m sure the designs and lucky sixpence will be appreciated.
