Health, Wealth, and Happiness.

The sixpence, known colloquially as the tanner, was a British pre-decimal coin, worth six (pre-1971) pence.
Traditionally, a silver sixpence was stirred into the christmas pudding mix, to bring the finder wealth and good luck in the year to come.

Nice shot, great dof! Not sure about the tradition of the sixpence in the Christmas pudding - I'm sure Health and Safety wouldn't approve!
