Suffragette Pennies — hand-stamped replicas

Penny for your thoughts?
Tiny, powerful, historic — and utterly giftable. These hand-stamped replica Suffragette Pennies make a brilliant gift for your feminist friends, family, your best mate, or anyone who loves a story with real bite.

Each penny is stamped one letter at a time, just like the originals. That means every single piece is unique — a little keepsake of rebellion you can carry or display.

✨ Every penny comes beautifully presented:
Each coin is temporarily mounted on an information card with historical context, and includes two Suffragette postcards — making this a ready-to-gift mini set straight out of the envelope.

✨ Tiny act of rebellion — the story

In the early 20th century, suffragettes used clever and subtle protest methods — including defacing pennies with Votes for Women to spread their message where everyone could see it. It was risky: defacing currency was illegal at the time.

Original examples exist in museum collections today; one defaced penny from 1903 is held by the British Museum, stamped across the king’s head.

You’re holding a modern tribute to that bold, everyday courage — legal now because these coins are out of circulation, and made as replicas to celebrate and remember the story, not to break the law.
