 Elizabeth II, £5 Silver Proof Millennium, 1999
£59.50 (CLD7150) Diameter: 38.61 mm approx Do you remember the prophets of doom that emerged before the year 2000? What about the havoc that the Y2K bug was going to cause? It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since then... but just before the turn of the century, and as a forerunner to the Millennium, the Royal Mint issued this Silver Proof £5 in 1999. You have three dates on it, two on one side and one on the other. On the obverse, you have a portrait of the Queen and the date 1999, the date it was actually issued. On the other side, you have a map of the world with Great Britain prominent with the Greenwich Meridian at the top. On the one side, you have 1999 and on the other side, you have 2000.
Each piece is struck in Proof Sterling silver and each coin comes in the Royal Mint capsule as issued. It is one of the more interesting of the Royal Mint’s Five Pound series.

 Elizabeth II, Silver Proof 'Scottish' Pound in capsule FDC, 1994
£39.50 (UPD94S) Diameter: 22 mm approx This handsome Sterling Silver proof version of the Pound coin was issued in 1994 when the design was to honour Scotland. You have a rampant Lion on one side with the so-called Maklouf bust of the Queen on the other side.
These are Special Collector’s Editions struck in Proof Sterling Silver by the Royal Mint. They had an original mintage limit of 25,000, but I don’t know how many they actually struck.
Each Sterling Silver Proof comes in a protective capsule inside the original Royal Mint case of issue. The design is most attractive and it would be very difficult today to even get a normal circulation issue in Uncirculated let alone Silver Proof.
Now some 26 years old and not an easy coin to find, a great gift if you know someone born or married in 1994 and with the new Pound Coin just released, interest and demand for these older issues is greater. CLICK HERE TO ORDER VIA OUR WEBSITE SEE ALL ELIZABETH II COINS AVAILABLE

 Elizabeth II, 1987 Deluxe Proof Set
£39.50 (UPS87D) For some reason, the 1987 Proof Set has always been known as the Forgotten Proof Set.
I can’t understand why. There are two coins, the 10p, and the 50p which are only available in the Royal Mint sets. So if you need these two coins they have to come from a set.
The 1987 Proof Set contains the £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p in the Royal Mint display case of issue. We can offer this 1987 set in the Red leather presentation case. CLICK HERE TO ORDER VIA OUR WEBSITE SEE ALL BRITISH SETS

 Switzerland, Shooting Festival Medal
£9.95 (OSW8820) For Centuries the Swiss have had shooting festivals, do you remember William Tell, his son and the apple? There were many shooting festivals all over Switzerland and it was with great pride when someone won one of the contests.
The cost of producing these medallions is quite high as is the prestige of winning one of them.
If you won a shooting festival you were presented with a medal on a ribbon. That medal is what we are offering here. There are a number of different designs and years, the ones on offer are from about 1949-1970. The medal supplied may be different from those illustrated.
They are very attractive and at our price, they are less than the cost of making them… CLICK HERE TO ORDER VIA OUR WEBSITE SEE ALL WORLD MEDALS
