During the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, there were two different types of Shillings issued every year. One had a reverse with an English design and one had a reverse with a Scottish design. The Scottish designs are always the more difficult ones to find because they made less of them than the English reverse. This coin is now 60 years old and Uncirculated examples are very difficult to find. The Scottish reverse has a lion standing and is rather majestic. The coins are in Uncirculated condition and more difficult to find than the catalogue indicates.

1962 Uncirculated Scottish Shilling. The last shilling was issued in 1966 that means that they are at least 56 years old and in Uncirculated condition.

Shillings with the Scottish reverse were first made in 1937, to honour Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, George VI’s wife. They were last made in 1966, because we were going decimal. The coins on offer are dated 1963 and in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, remember it is almost the last date that a Scottish Shilling was struck. Nice gifts to anyone with Scottish blood in them. Brilliant Uncirculated and dated 1963.

1964 Uncirculated Scottish Shilling. The last shilling was issued in 1966 that means that they are at least 56 years old and in Uncirculated condition.

Most people think that the last pre-decimal coins struck for circulation were dated 1967, they would only be partly right. In fact most pre-decimal coins were last struck in 1967, that is except for the Shilling. The last Shilling struck for circulation was in 1966, they did not make any in 1967. They issued two diff erent types of 1966 Shillings, the English reverse and the Scottish reverse. The coin on off er this issue is the Scottish 1966 Shilling in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. As the Shilling had a direct decimal equivalent they felt that they had enough of this denomination to fi ll all their needs at the time.

Anice example of a pre-decimal Elizabeth II Sixpence in Uncirculated condition. The Sixpence was the only coin that did not have a decimal equivalent that was allowed to still be used when decimal coins came in. That was because it was the price of a phone call in a call box and decimal coins were causing too many problems at that time.

The pre-decimal coinage of Queen Elizabeth II dated 1964 has always been difficult to get. Here we offer the 1964 Sixpence Unc. Supplies are limited in for a number of coins.

In 2019 The Royal Mint allowed British Gold Sovereigns to be struck in India, with an ‘I’ mint mark. The last Monarch to allow this was King George V in 1918. The Mint has packaged them with a certificate calling them Bullion but they are certainly Specimens that look much like proofs. They are housed in nice official display cases. The coin is sealed in a card which is also its guarantee from the Royal Mint that it is genuine and of the same standard as a British Sovereign. It is the first time that we have seen them in the Royal Mint package, the coins were made in India. You have a current gold coin with the Queen’s portrait with the Indian mint mark. We have never seen them like this before. We bought all that the dealer had for sale, it was a good price, so you have a good price, that way everyone is happy.

The British Gold Sovereign was first issued under King George III as a replacement for the Guinea series. Each coin weighs just under 8 grams and is struck in 22ct Gold. Here we are offering the Jody Clark Sovereign Sovereign by type rather than by date.

In 1996 the Royal Mint did something they had never done before. They issued a Proof Set of the then current 1996 coins but, every coin was struck in Proof Sterling Silver. Here we present the 1996 Two Pence in Sterling Silver.

Someone I know broke up some of the 2000 all silver proof sets, one of his clients only needed certain coins for a promotion. He was left with the smaller denominations and that is where we stepped in. We know the Mint has recently issued some 1 Pence coins for special occasions, but never the beautiful large sized Two Pence (2p). Well we bought all he had, because that way I can offer my collectors a Sterling Silver 2p at a very special price. That way everyone wins and you get a Royal Mint Sterling Silver Proof at a most attractive price, especially with what they charge today. You can own this Millennium 2000 Two Pence in Proof Sterling Silver for a bargain price. But please remember that our supplies are limited, and at this price, there should be a lot of interest.

A dealer we know broke up some Royal Mint 2009 all Silver Proof Sets for the Kew Gardens 50p. We were able to buy the rest of the sets at a most reasonable price, which we are now passing on to you. There were six (6) sets, so there are just six of each of the following Sterling Silver Proof coins. Here we present the 2p in its Royal Mint Protective capsule, at this price it is well worth thinking about…
