1887 Halfcrown Uncirculated_obv

1887 Halfcrown Uncirculated

In 1887 Queen Victoria finally allowed her portrait on the coinage to be changed. It was 50 years that she kept her Young Head portrait on the coins. The Halfcrown, or Two Shillings and Sixpence, was perhaps the most used large silver coin at the time. Because of course a Halfcrown was a lot of money then. You have the Queen on the obverse with that silly little crown placed on her head. She hated it because it looked like a toy rather than the real thing. The reverse has a crowned coat of arms within a garter of roses. We offer them in Uncirculated.

Celtic Silver Quniarius of Kaletedes_obv

Celtic Silver Quniarius of Kaletedes

We have a small number of these Celtic silver Quinarius available dating from ca. 120-50 BC. They are from the Central Gaul region issued by Kaletedes of the Lingones (The Jumpers), who were a Gallic tribe of the Iron Age and Roman periods. They dwelled in the region surrounding the present-day city of Langres (Civitas Lingonum) which is named after the Gallic tribe. The coins have a Celticised head of Roma on the obverse which was widely used on Roman Republican coins of the period. The reverse shows a horse galloping left with KAΛ above and Δ below. The denomination is a quinarius which was half of a denarius. They grade about very fine for this issue. Only five of these coins are available.

In this issue, we are delighted to offer you Elizabeth I sixpences from the Tower Mint on Special Offer for just £59.50. These are condition in Fair condition meaning they are heavily circulated and each is at least 428 years old.

Cook Islands 1979 7-Coin Partial Proof Set_main

Cook Islands 1979 7-Coin Partial Proof Set

This is both a bit of a strange one and a fantastic offer. The Cook Islands is a small island group in the Pacific Ocean, find Hawaii and look down. It is under the protection of New Zealand and there are only about 14,000 people there. In the late 1970’s, they issued a set of coins from the 1 cent to a silver crown, they were struck by the famous Franklin Mint in the US and they are in beautiful proof condition. The company that owned them took the silver crown out and sold us the rest of the proof set, which we now offer to you in the card holder as issued. There are 7 coins including the crown in the proof set we are offering. With animals, fish, fauna and their famous god-idle. Proof sets from the Cook Islands are not easy to find, even without the silver coins. We think they are an excellent 7 coin proof set at just £14.50.
