New Stock November 2024

November is here, and so are our latest gems! Ready to elevate your collection with exclusive finds? Discover the magic of our newest additions, meticulously curated to offer nothing but the best. 

First up, we’re spotlighting the Elizabeth I Threepence, available in Fine or Very Good condition. The silver threepence of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), first minted at the Tower mint in 1561, was part of her broader effort to reform England’s currency and stabilise the economy following the monetary debasements of her father – Henry VIII. They were amongst the first British coins to feature dates and therefore, like the sixpences are popular with collectors. They are at least 442 years old. 

Next is the Victoria, Godless Florin 1849 Fine! Britain's first step towards decimalisation, these rare coins sparked controversy by omitting "Dei Gratia" (By the Grace of God), earning them the nickname "Godless Florin." Struck only from 1849 to 1851, they represent a monumental shift in British currency that paved the way for the decimal system we know today. 

Our third feature follows on with Victoria, Farthing, 1888, Choice Brilliant Uncirculated,and these coins are some of the finest examples that we have ever seen. They are fantastic for any type collection, they will really stand out and draw attention. There are a very small number available.

In addition to these exciting new coins, we also invite you to explore our wide range of collectables, including British, world, hammered, and ancient coins, coin sets, patina/reproductions, medals and stamps.

William & Mary Halfpenny Fair_obv

William & Mary Halfpenny Fair

William III and Mary II were England’s first and only joint sovereigns, with Mary sharing equal status and power. William and Mary came to the throne after the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 when Mary’s father, James II, was deposed for trying to enforce Catholic tolerance in England. The King and Queen ruled jointly from 1689 until Mary’s death aged 32 in 1694. William and Mary were, in fact cousins, sharing King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria as grandparents. We have on off er the ever-popular, and getting harder to find 1694 halfpennies. They’re a one-year type and were struck in Copper at the Tower, just before they moved to the new mint on Tower Hill. This was also to be the final year of their brief joint-reign. These 330 year old halfpennies were very well circulated as they were used for everyday trades for many decades, so they are usually very worn.
