Defacing a coin of the realm was against the law, SO
when women deliberately stamped "Votes for
Women" across the image of the king's face on a
penny, it sent a forceful and shocking message.

British coins had two sides: the profile of EdwardVlI
appeared on one side, while the image of Brittania
appeared on the other.

British women over the age of 30 were given the right
to vote in 1918, and in 1928 the Equal Franchise Act
extended the right CO vote to all women over the age
of 21.

In Britain in the 1880s, roughly 60 percent of the male
population had the right to
vote, but no women at all
were able to do so.
