Elizabeth II, 50 Pence (Suffragette) 2003 Piedfort Sterling Silver

In 1927 the Royal Mint issued a Proof Set of the new coinage of King George V. These were the only 500 fine Silver Proof coins of King George V that you can get. We bought a small group of these beautiful King George V 1927 Shillings in Proof condition and we are now offering them to you. But please remember that these are they only King George V Shillings of this type that you can get in Proof. Yes there were a few VIP Proofs made of other dates, but if you don’t want to spend £3,000 then these are for you.

In 2005 the Royal Mint issued a commemorative 50 Pence to honour the 250th anniversary of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language. Without this momentous work, we wouldn’t know what a lot of words mean today. You have a series of words on one side with the inscription ‘Johnson’s Dictionary 1755’. The other side has a portrait of H.M. the Queen and this coin is struck in Proof Sterling Silver. This is also a coin that is missing from many collections, especially in Silver. We believe our price for this older and very important commemorative coin, is less than what the Royal Mint will be charging for this year’s commemorative. Supplies are limited...
