Continuing on with our extremely low mintage Patina Pattern Series. This issue we offer the rather exotic Andorra which is so hard to get coins of.

These oversized pieces are struck in Proof condition marked ‘Trial, Probe, Essai, Prueba’ to show that they are patterns. Each set has 16 pieces in it and that works out to not a lot of money per piece and they only made 50 collections!

In 1971, for the first time, the Royal Mint issued decimal Half Pence coins as well as the One Pence and the Two Pence coins. The Half Pence ceased to be made in 1984 and it looks like the other two denominations are on their way out as well. Only in 1971 did the Royal Mint issue its bronze coins in rolls. Each roll contained 50 coins and they were shrink wrapped. These coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition still in their original rolls even though they are now 53 years old. Oh yes, the denomination was ‘New Pence’, it was not until 1982 that they dropped the word ‘New’ and they became just Pence. BU rolls of 50 coins all dated 1971. Just for your edification: one dealer is selling the 1971 coins one by one, not a roll but just one coin for the following prices 2p £5.00 (£250)!
Severus II (A.D. 305-307) is a very hard emperor to find as he is struck coins for less than two years. When Galerius elevated his childhood friend (Severus) to Caesar, Diocletian is meant to have said, “What! That dancer, that habitual drunkard who turns night into day and day into night?” Regardless, Severus was made Augustus after a year and sent to shut down the rebellion of Maxentius. His army defected, he was captured and eventually executed by the rebels. We have a limited number of his bronze Quater Follis coins showing his bust on the obverse and various reverses. They grade Fine and are priced accordingly.
Years ago we offered these pairs of cufflinks made with real coins then enamelled to make them even more attractive. You don’t wear cufflinks everyday, but when you do why not wear real coins. Each pair is gold plated then enamelled and they come in a plastic bag, for easy packing. They come in a variety of colours, so if you want more than one pair of the type… Supplies are very limited and we just found them after years in our vault room.
