The Three Pence is worth one fourth of a shilling. They are the newest version of the 3 Pence; they come with a brass finishing.

Design[]

The brass type has a 12 sided polygon shape. The obverse is nothing different comparing with the others. The reverse shows a portcullis similar to that of the GBP 1 Penny. These are one of the least successful denominations, but were favoured by Scotland.
