Ivan Sračimir was the second son of Ivan Aleksander and was appointed co-emperor by his father in 1356. At this or some later point, he was given control of Vidin, a port city on the southern bank of the Danube in north-western Bulgaria. It is close to the borders with Romania and Serbia, which he held for the rest of his reign. These small silver coins show Ivan Sračimir enthroned facing, holding a sceptre and mace and the reverse shows a half-length facing bust of Christ, they grade Very Fine but we have very limited numbers available.
Billion is a mixture of base metal and silver, usually of a low silver content. These 1/8th Tical or 1 Fuang coins were issued about 1847. They are small and uniface, that means they have a design on one side only. The design is Hamza Bird. They look nice and silvery but they are only part silver. 170 years old and in Extremely Fine condition. An unusual coin from a difficult country, one that you don’t often see. They catalogue $27.50/£22.00 in Extremely Fine but our price is much more reasonable.
The Royal Canadian Mint launched the iconic Silver Maple Leaf series as the official silver bullion coin of Canada in 1988 but this is the very last to carry the portrait of Elizabeth II. These coins were minted between 1991 and 2023 the special one-off ‘transitional’ type with the dates of the late Queen’s reign 1952-2022 to the left of her portrait.
We thought that we would jazz things up a bit so here goes. King George VI was well-loved in Canada, a place that the Royal Family loves. Therefore we're offering the last George VI Canadian Silver Dollar, issued in 1952, but in uncirculated condition of course. This coin holds a unique history of the money of Canada issued during King George VI reign.

Canada issues a beautiful one ounce coin of 999 pure silver, which they call the Maple Leaf, after their famous symbol. I believe that they were the first country to issue coins ($5.00 face value) in pure silver. Everyone else issued coins that contained one ounce of silver but were not 999 pure. Each crownsized coin carries a unique bust of H. M. Queen Elizabeth II and are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. We have the 2011 on offer, a nice way to start a new collection. At £34.50 it is reasonabley priced, considering what some other countries are charging. 1 ounce of 999 pure silver, crown sized, portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Brilliant Uncirculated condition. What more could you ask for?

Canada is made up of a number of different countries or provinces. Three of them issued coins on their own and now is your opportunity to own one of them. Canada is a vast country and has been settled by many different and varied nationalities. But three parts of Canada issued their own coins. You have New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island plus Canada. They issued bronze pennies all of which had a portrait of Queen Victoria on them. Here we present the Canadian Large Cent. It is well over 100 years old and not that easy to find.
In 1939 Canada issued its first real commemorative Silver Dollar. It was for the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. On the obverse is King George VI and on the reverse is the Parliament building. This is the first real commemorative Silver Dollar issued and they were struck in 800 fine Silver. The coins in this group are all Extremely Fine condition which is a very nice grade for collectors. Own the First Canadian commemorative Silver Dollar in Extremely Fine condition and remember it is King George VI!
In 1953 Canada issued its first-ever Queen Elizabeth II Silver Dollar. It was to honour her Coronation and was the beginning of a series that is still being struck today. The Silver Dollar is struck in 800 fine Silver has the very youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a trapper and a native American in a canoe on the reverse. They are one of only 3-4 Coronation crownsized issues released in 1953 worldwide. We would guess for the next Coronation there will be more coins than you can shake a stick at… These Canadian Coronation Silver Dollars are in Extremely Fine condition and well worth adding to your collection. Supplies are limited.
In 1964 Canada still issued the 10 Cents, 25 Cents, 50 Cents and Dollar in Silver for general usage. They didn’t make Proof Sets but rather they called them Prooflike Sets. We have some of the 1964 Prooflike Silver Sets with the Charlottetown commemorative silver dollar. All the coins are in Prooflike Specimen condition. We are going to offer the coins separately; here we offer the 1964 $1. Remember that the coins are now 55 years old and struck in silver.

The Canadian Centennial was a yearlong celebration held in 1967 to mark the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. Celebrations occurred throughout the year but culminated on Dominion Day, July 1, with communities and organizations across Canada staging Centennial projects ranging from special one-time events to local improvement projects, such as the construction of municipal arenas and parks. The Centennial Flame was also added to Parliament Hill and commemorative coins were minted that were different from regular issues with animals on each and the dates 1867-1967. This lovely series of coins consists of the 1 dollar (Canadian Goose), 50 cents (Wolf) , 25 cents (Wildcat), 10 cents (Mackerel), 5 cents (Rabbit), all struck in .800 silver, and the 1 cent (Dove) in bronze. All of the coins are choice-proof-like Brilliant Uncirculated and come in a sealed protective cover. We only have 10 of these sets available so get in quickly if you want one.
These five-cent coins were issued in Canada in tombac metal only in 1943. It had a ‘V’ on it for victory in the Second World War, something that was to come slightly later. These coins are of beautiful quality and were put away the year they were issued almost 80 years ago. They catalogue up to $150 in top condition. We don’t know much about numerical grading, but we know that these coins are the best that we have seen. We have graded them Brilliant Uncirculated and Gem Brilliant Uncirculated and priced them at what we think are fair prices for such beautiful and important type coins
Steve was looking through one of our vault rooms and came across these 2014 Canadian Maple Leafs. Each contains one ounce of pure silver, is in Brilliant Uncirculated and nowadays are not easy to find. We only have about 10-12 of each date in stock. We sell nothing for investment, but we have seen just as a mint strikes a new date of a silver coin, the wholesalers put up their prices on the older issues. Probably because everyone wants this year’s issue, everyone that is except collectors. They want these older dates for their collections.
Here is something rather special for you. A Canadian Silver Dollar of King George VI dated the last year of issue (1952) and a Silver Dollar of his Daughter, Queen Elizabeth II dated for her Coronation (1953). Both are full crownsized, struck in 800 fine Silver and in Extremely Fine condition. A Canadian Silver Dollar of Father and Daughter, what a fantastic offer, get them while you can.
