Belgium Pre-Euro 8 Coin Set

The man who makes our sets of European coins pre the Euro, has come up with his best collection yet! He has put together a collection of 19 different pre-Euro Spanish coins. He said he was going to do it and to be honest we didn’t think that he could do it, especially at the price he quoted. He is as good as his word and here they are: 10 Centimos (1), 50 Centimos (1), 1 Peseta (5), 5 Pesetas (10). 10 Pesetas (1) and 25 Pesetas (1). A total of 19 different Spanish coins all in selected circulated condition.

The Netherlands issued their own coinage, but now only use Euro coins; the old coins are, in fact, no longer valid. But since it looks like the Euro and the European Union might be in trouble and hopefully disband, their old coins might just become very collectable. One of our suppliers has put together type sets of the old, pre-Euro coins that each country used to use. It is getting harder and harder to find the coins to make up these sets, so supplies are limited. All coins are circulated, which means that they were actually used as money. You get the 5 Gulden, 1 Gulden, 25c 10c and 5c coins.

This little set contains three different commemorative Nickels or 5 Cent coins from Canada. Their first is a World War II coin struck in tombac or a brass coloured metal like the old Brass Threepence. It has the ‘V’ for Victory on one side and King George VI on the other side, it is dated 1943. The second coin is very similar except that it is struck in steel again with the Victory sign but dated 1944. The third coin in the set is dated 1951 and is for the 200th anniversary of the finding of Nickel in Canada 1751-1951. Canada has a large deposit of nickel which is commercially mined and sold world wide. The set of three commemorative Nickels are all King George VI, all in Very Fine condition and all now not so easy to find. You get all three pieces for just £6.95.
