St. Helena, 2013 25 Pence (St. George Crown)
The tiny island of St. Helena, where Napoleon died, has honoured St. George slaying the dragon, with a beautiful Sterling Silver Proof crown. This was originally designed by Pistrucci for the new coinage of George III in 1818. It is still being used on our Gold Sovereigns today. They issued a crownsized 25 Pence in 2013 with H. M. Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and St. George slaying the dragon on the reverse. To make it even more impressive they have highlighted the Sterling Silver Proof St. George and the dragon crown, in gold. Each choice Proof coin comes in a protective capsule. But supplies are very limited on a Rare and most impressive coin. I think the price is also impressive. Today the mints would charge about £80-£85 for this coin, but NOT Coincraft. We bought them right, we sell them right.

Illyrian Silver Drachm
In about 600 B.C. the Greek city of Corinth sent colonists up the coast to Illyria (which roughly corresponds to the modern Balkans) to create a city for trade. These Greek colonists prospered and spread but by the 3rd Century B.C. they needed the Romans to stop the Ardiaei pirates from plundering their cities & trade routes. This lead to three Illyrian Wars between 229-168 B.C. and after this the area came under Roman protection. From about 200 B.C. two cities in the area, Apollonia & Dyrrachium (Epidamnos) started to mint these Greek silver drachm coins for use in trade. On the obverse they a fertility symbol of a cow suckling a calf. On the reverse a double geometric pattern which scholars think is a schematic representation of the two stars of the Dioscuri. They grade Very Fine and continued to be struck until the arrival of Julius Caesar in 48 B.C. stopped the production. These will make great additions to any collection or an exciting present!

Unknown Mauritania 1000 ouguiya 1981 P3D Uncirculated
This handsome 1000 ouguiya note dated 1981 from Mauritania has a catalogue reference but until very recently it was only known as a Specimen (P3D).That all changed after a dealer friend unearthed these on a visit to the country. They are a wonderful find and we were delighted to be able to purchase Uncirculated examples to offer to our collectors. It was printed in Germany but for some reason was never issued for circulation. The front has a portrait of an old man while on the back there are vignettes of a camel and palm tree, a mine head and men in a field. A stunning addition for your collection!

1922 George V Silver Florin
As most collectors know, the Florin is the most difficult denomination to find. I guess that is because they only started to make silver florins in 1849. I have listed all the 500 fine Silver George V Florins that we have in stock, some are in very limited quantities, and they did not make a Florin in 1927 for circulation. The coins are in selected circulated condition.

Saudi Arabia last non-decimal qirsh pair
The riyal has been the currency of Saudi Arabia since it was created out of various territories on the Arabian Peninsula in 1932, but between 1925 and 1960 the pre-decimal riyal was divided into 22 ghirsh or qirsh. Although the old Hijaz riyal had 20 qirsh, the first Saudi riyal was equivalent to 22 Ottoman kurus and this subdivision became the norm. This 2-coin set consists of a 1 and 2 qirsh coin in Uncirculated condition from the late 1950s just before decimalisation.
