We're delighted to unveil our latest stock for October, meticulously curated to bring fresh and invigorating options to your collection.
This month's highlights include, George III, Bank of England Issue, Eighteen Pence, Bank Token 1811, Uncirculated. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Bank of England ordered the production of silver tokens which were issued as legal tender. These One Shilling and Sixpence (Eighteen pence) silver tokens were struck in 1811, featuring the armoured bust of George III. Take this opportunity to own a historically important piece from the Napoleonic War era.
We also have the Victoria Sixpence 1887 Wreath Choice Uncirculated,the third different sixpence of 1887, issued to stop people gold plating the sixpence and passing them off as gold coins. The reverse shows a wreath with the value spelled out, to try and stop the practice.
Furthermore, we have the Charles III, £2 2024, The Lion & The Eagle One Ounce, following on from the recent collaboration between the Royal Mint and the US Mint combining Britannia and Liberty on a one ounce coin, this new 2024 release features The Lion and The Eagle, two national icons harmoniously brought together on a new UK coin. Struck in .999 fine silver and in Brilliant Uncirculated condition straight from the Royal Mint.
In addition to these exciting new coins, we also invite you to explore our wide range of collectables, including British, world, medieval, hammered, and ancient coins, books, medals, wedding covers, tokens and pocket watches.

Lykaonia was an area in what is now central Turkey, north of the Taurus Mountains. Lukkawanna, the Ancient Hittite name for the area, came from the 2nd millennium B.C. and translated as ‘Land of Lukka’ with ‘Lukka’ meaning wolf. The Ancient Greek for wolf was ‘Lykos’ so this archaic association with wolves was already thousands of years old when this coin was struck. This association is celebrated on the silver obols we are off ering here with an impressively engraved forepart of a wolf on the reverse of the coin. The obverse shows Baaltars, the local version of the Greek god, Zeus. This parallel can be seen in the way he is seated and holding his sceptre, the same as Zeus on Alexander the Great’s coinage. We offer these coins in Extremely Fine grade. They were struck at the city of Laranda and date to the middle of the 4th century B.C. Please be aware that we have only a small number of them.

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. Only 10 of these stunning silver proof coins available so get in quick.

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.
