An unusual note to this is that he actually asked for a set of his own coinage and was refused it by the royal mint (though I am sure the rejust was actually refused by people right at the top ie the prime minister and royal family

low mintage as well

Not really a uk coin if from British Guinia

The odd few did circulate esp in the war years remember many people finances were turned upside down. Many of those that circulated have been melted down now as they were seen as useless as no-one wanted them in the fifties and sixties , not collectors anyway

perfect advice there are plenty out there to choose from

Yes halfpennies always seem the most ignored of the copper / bronze series a shame really

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a very contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It is characterised by severe coughing fits and ends with a ‘whooping’ sound as the air is inhaled. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were more than 1.51 lakh cases of whooping cough globally in 2018. The health body explains that it spreads easily from person to person, primarily through droplets from coughing or sneezing. It is most dangerous for infants and is a leading cause of disease and death in this age group. How To Differentiate Between Cold And Whooping Cough Dr Manoj says, “The primary differences between a common cold and whooping cough (pertussis) lie in their symptom progression and intensity.” He explains that a common cold typically causes mild symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, occasional low-grade fever, and a manageable cough that resolves within a week. Whooping cough, on the other hand, begins with similar cold-like symptoms but escalates into prolonged, severe coughing fits, the doctor distinguishes. “These fits may be followed by a distinctive 'whooping' sound as the person gasps for air—though this hallmark symptom is less common in infants, older adults, or immunocompromised individuals." Stages Of Whooping Cough The three main stages of whooping cough are: Catarrhal phase (1–2 weeks): Mimics a cold with sneezing and mild cough. Paroxysmal phase (1–6 weeks): Intense coughing spells, often worse at night, which may cause vomiting or breathlessness. Convalescent phase (weeks to months): Gradual recovery, though coughing can linger. When To Seek Medical Attention Here’s who and when one should seek medical attention for whooping cough: Infants under 6 months, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune system face the highest risk of severe complications, such as pneumonia, rib fractures, or seizures. Rarely, it can be fatal in young babies. A cough that lasts over two weeks. Coughing fits that lead to vomiting, difficulty breathing, or cyanosis (bluish skin). Infants exhibit pauses in breathing (apnoea) or exhaustion after coughing. Also Read: Rising Whooping Cough Cases In The UK Lead To Tenth Child Death Prevention Strategies

POLICE are hunting a prolific Birmingham burglar who went on the run after winning bail because his girlfriend had just had their baby. Joseph Moore, 23, was allowed home each day during a two-week trial at Warwick Crown Court on compassionate grounds. But the burglar, from Stechford, failed to turn up for sentencing and was jailed for nine years in his absence. Police are now trying to track down Moore, who went missing on the day the jury returned with a guilty verdict. He and co-defendant James Maxwell, 27, were jailed for nine years after being found guilty of conspiracy to steal and burglary offences. The pair committed a string of burglaries across the region. The court heard they were so prolific that they were stealing from three homes every single day at the end of last year. The pair were caught when an off-duty police officer spotted them in Charingworth Road, Solihull, driving an Audi estate bearing different front and rear number plates. Ironically, police started investigating the pair after a break-in at a lock-up linked to both men in December. The industrial unit had traces of a cannabis factory, a stolen Audi S4 Quattro, jewellery, passports and numerous false number plates.
