In 1977, our late Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Silver Jubilee, 25 years on the throne. It was commemorated with large-scale parties and parades throughout the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth throughout 1977, culminating in June with the official “Jubilee Days”, held to coincide with the Queen’s Official Birthday. There were also a large number of coins issued across the Commonwealth to mark the event and this Silver 25 Rupees from Mauritius is one of them, it is crown-sized, sterling silver and comes in the official case of issue. The obverse features the youthful portrait of Elizabeth by Arnold Machin and the reverse shows a man harvesting sugar cane, a plant introduced to Mauritius by the Dutch in the 17th century primarily to produce an alcoholic drink named arrack.

The Imams of Yemen, who later became Kings of Yemen, were a blend of Zaidi Shia religious and political leaders who ruled parts of Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula from 897AD. These very rare silver dirham coins were issued during the reign of Abdallah al-Mansur, who was part of the Rassid Dynasty that ruled the country from 1187 or 1197 until his death in 1217.
Established on 20 May 1942, and awarded for heroic deeds during WW2 to all soldiers in the Soviet armed forces, this was the first Soviet order established during the war.

In 1811, George III became too unstable to rule, so he signed the Regency Bill which meant his son, George (later George IV) would act as Prince Regent. Silver was in relatively short supply for much of George III’s reign, together with the Royal Mint’s archaic equipment at the Tower, it was impossible to produce coinage at a profit. As a result, before the recoinage Act of 1816, only gold coinage was produced on a regular basis. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Bank of England ordered the production of silver tokens which were issued as legal tender. Two denominations were made – the 3 shillings and the 1 shilling and sixpence (or eighteen pence), they were dated 1811 to 1816. These tokens were minted to a slightly lower silver standard (89%) to allow a profit to be made. Production ended after the end of the Napoleonic War and victory in the Battle of Waterloo, followed by the introduction of the ‘new coinage’ of 1816. We’re pleased to offer you the One Shilling and Sixpence (Eighteen pence) silver token struck in 1811 featuring the armoured bust of George III, we offer them in two grades – Extremely Fine and Uncirculated. We’ve been putting these aside for a few years and they always fly out, take this opportunity to own a historically important piece from the Napoleonic War era. Dates of our choice.

Trebonianus Gallus was a Roman emperor who ruled from 251 to 253 AD during the Crisis of the Third Century. He rose to power after the death of Emperor Decius in battle against the Goths. Gallus, previously a governor, was quickly proclaimed emperor by the army. His reign was marked by challenges, including ongoing threats from barbarian invasions and internal dissent. Gallus made peace with the Goths, agreeing to pay them tribute, a decision that was unpopular in Rome. His rule ended abruptly when he and his son, Volusianus, were killed by their own troops in a rebellion led by Aemilian, a rival general. We have a small group of his silver Antoninianus in Extremely Fine condition showing the radiate bust of the emperor on the obverse and a standing or seated fi gure on the reverse. Please Note: PHOTOGRAPHY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COIN SUPPLIED

In 1887, Queen Victoria celebrated her 50th year as Queen. The Mint issued three different types of sixpences that year. They continued on with the Young Head design. They only issued a special design for the Jubilee but they made an error and had to issue a different Jubilee later that same year. The first type of Jubilee sixpence had a shield on the reverse and looked very similar to the Half Sovereign of that date. So people were gold plating the sixpence and passing them off as gold coins. Later in the year the Mint changed the reverse to show a wreath with the value spelled out, to try and stop the practice. Here we can offer the Victorian Sixpence 1887 Wreath Choice Uncirculated.
