In 1953 Queen Elizabeth II had her Coronation, while she had been Queen for almost a year, this made it Official. It is Royal Mint policy only to issue coins for a new Monarch only after their Coronation. So, although Elizabeth became our Queen in 1952, no coins were issued until after her Coronation in 1953 so these were the first official coinage of Queen Elizabeth II. The 1953 coins are one year only coins, as the next year they changed the legend slightly. In the Coronation Proof Set you have the Crown, Halfcrown, Florin, English Shilling, Scottish Shilling, Sixpence, brass Threepence, Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing. The Proof Set comes in a maroon case, but because of the padding used in the cases, the insides are sometimes a bit spotty. The bronze coins may have toned or mellowed but the coins are all in Proof condition, as issued.

Silver sixpences have long been associated with bringing good luck to the bride and groom on their big day.

These Elizabethan sixpences were individually struck by hand at the Tower Mint between 1561 and 1602. They feature a portrait of the Queen facing left with Tudor rose behind, the reverse features a long cross fourchée over quartered shield of arms, with the date above. 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. These are great historic mementos as they have the date on the reverse, remember 1551 was the first year that British coins were struck depicting a date in Arabic numerals. A great addition to your collection, or maybe a special gift for a special couple. PLEASE NOTE: PHOTOGRAPHY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COIN SUPPLIED

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 1811, George III became too unstable to rule, so he signed the Regency Bill which meant his son, George (later George IV) would act as Prince Regent. Silver was in relatively short supply for much of George III’s reign, together with the Royal Mint’s archaic equipment at the Tower, it was impossible to produce coinage at a profit. As a result, before the recoinage Act of 1816, only gold coinage was produced on a regular basis. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Bank of England ordered the production of silver tokens which were issued as legal tender. Two denominations were made – the 3 shillings and the 1 shilling and sixpence (or eighteen pence), they were dated 1811 to 1816. These tokens were minted to a slightly lower silver standard (89%) to allow a profit to be made. Production ended after the end of the Napoleonic War and victory in the Battle of Waterloo, followed by the introduction of the ‘new coinage’ of 1816. We’re pleased to offer you the One Shilling and Sixpence (Eighteen pence) silver token struck in 1811 featuring the armoured bust of George III, we offer them in two grades – Extremely Fine and Uncirculated. We’ve been putting these aside for a few years and they always fly out, take this opportunity to own a historically important piece from the Napoleonic War era. Dates of our choice.

Gallienus ruled as sole emperor from A.D. 260-268 during one of the most difficult times in the history of the empire. Not only was the empire facing natural disasters and invasions on all sides but he had to face at least 8 rebellions from his own governors and generals! He issued a fantastic group of bronze Antoniniani coins to honour the Gods, asking for their protection against these troubles. Though made in Europe, these coins were used in Britain and are a large part of the Mildenhall Hoard in the British Museum. Depicted on these coins are a variety of animals, some real and some mythical, each linked to one of the Roman deities. We offer from this series the Gazelle, identified as different to the antelope by the numbers ‘XI’ or ‘XII’ underneath and the straight horns. These are designed to honour Diana, the sister of Apollo and the goddess of the hunt. This is likely to bring luck to hunting and like her brother, for plagues and disease. The coins are at least Very Fine but because of the chaos at the time remember they may be a little weakly struck. As always the first to order will get the best.

In 1887, Queen Victoria celebrated her 50th year as Queen. The Mint issued three different types of sixpences that year. They continued on with the Young Head design. They only issued a special design for the Jubilee but they made an error and had to issue a different Jubilee later that same year. The first type of Jubilee sixpence had a shield on the reverse and looked very similar to the Half Sovereign of that date. So people were gold plating the sixpence and passing them off as gold coins. Later in the year the Mint changed the reverse to show a wreath with the value spelled out, to try and stop the practice. Here we can offer the Victorian Sixpence 1887 Wreath Choice Uncirculated.
In 1996 the late Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 70th birthday. For this occasion, the Royal Mint issued special commemorative £5 coins. They also issued Specimen examples in card holders known as Bubble Packs. What many collectors don’t realize is that the coins in the bubble packs are Specimen Uncirculated and thus of much higher quality. We offer these 1996 Bubble Pack £5 pieces at a very special prices.

As Europe prepared to adopt the Euro currency in 2002, many countries, the UK included, began preparing for the new currency with proposals for the designs of their coinage. International Numismatic Agency (INA) was involved in producing trial designs and strikes in different metals and one of the pieces they struck was this 5 Euro Trial in Sterling Silver. The design is very British, featuring our monarch at the time, Queen Elizabeth with the reverse featuring Britannia standing, resting on a shield with a globe to her left and a the Cutty Sark to her right. Of course, the UK never adopted the Euro and subsequently left the European Union completely so none of the proposed designs ever became a reality but these trial strikes have become much sought after by collectors and we only have 10 of these pieces available.
