Oak Tree of Life - Non Silver Half Crown (1947-67)

Product Description:  The English Oaks is a symbol of great strength and endurance. These magnificent trees grow to well over 100 feet above ground and can live for 1,000 years or more. Flowering begins in late spring, with the fruits (acorns) ripening in time for autumn. Acorns grow in clusters and are an important source of food for many birds and small mammals, particularly jays and squirrels who cache away the acorns for later consumption. It's said that an oak tree hid king Charles II from the Roundheads at Boscobel. This is a particuarly detailed piece, beautiful and highly unique.   If you would like this design on a coin which isn't available from the drop down menu above, please CLICK HERE [http://thornhill.myshopify.com/pages/custom-coin-design] and head to our 'CUSTOM' [http://www.thornhilljewellery.com/pages/custom-coin-design] page, and we'll gladly provide you a quote.  _***PLEASE NOTE - If you are selecting a specific year for this pendant design, please take the time to check out our _COIN GUIDE PAGE [http://thornhill.myshopify.com/pages/coin-information-page]_ (link opens in a new window) and check that the coin/year combination you desire is available.
