The George III Emergency Eighteen pence from the Napoleonic War period
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 Silver Antoninianus, Extremely Fine
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.

UK 5 Euro Pattern in Silver
As Europe prepared to adopt the Euro currency in 2002, many countries, the UK included, began preparing for the new currency with proposals for the designs of their coinage. International Numismatic Agency (INA) was involved in producing trial designs and strikes in different metals and one of the pieces they struck was this 5 Euro Trial in Sterling Silver. The design is very British, featuring our monarch at the time, Queen Elizabeth with the reverse featuring Britannia standing, resting on a shield with a globe to her left and a the Cutty Sark to her right. Of course, the UK never adopted the Euro and subsequently left the European Union completely so none of the proposed designs ever became a reality but these trial strikes have become much sought after by collectors and we only have 10 of these pieces available.

Victoria Sixpence 1887 Wreath Choice Uncirculated
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.

Victoria, Maundy Twopence, 1838, Extremely Fine

We have on offer - for the very first time as a the 1838 Silver Maundy Twopence in Extremely Fine grade. Numbers are limited so get in quick.
