They were originally made as plasters by the famous sculptor Henry Paget, the same man who made the 1935 Crown. They should have been small sized as the denomination was intended to be 10 Cents, but they are in fact crownsized. You have a sailing ship on one side with the date 1955 and the denomination 10 C. They were made originally for the British Caribbean Territories – Eastern Group. We have just 10 in stock and when they are gone there will be no more.

Commonwealth Halfcrown Replica

Whenever we have a Commonwealth coin on our Rare Coin listing there are always multiple orders for it. After it all it was a very interesting period of our history. So when we were offered these beautiful replica Commonwealth Halfcrown dated ‘1652’ we jumped at the chance. The reverse has two sets of shields conjoined that look like a pair of old fashioned trousers. The obverse has the Commonwealth shield in a wreath. They are retro dated 1652 and are struck in Proof condition and come in a capsule. You can tell it was made to look like the Shilling because there is ‘II*VI’ above the shields. That stood for Two Shillings and Sixpence. Beautiful pieces and make a good space holder until you are able to get the real thing. We are sure you will love them.

Cyprus Uniface Euro Pattern Collection

In 2003, ICB (International Currency Bureau) struck a set of Pattern Euro coins for Cyprus. The design was not accepted, but they are very collectable. This is very important only 50 sets were ever made of each type! That means in the entire world only 50 lucky collectors can ever own one of these collections. You could be one of the lucky 50! Each Proof-like Uncirculated piece is struck uniface on an oversized planchet, that means for each coin you have two pieces, one obverse and one reverse. Each piece is marked ‘trial Prueba Muster Essai’ to show that it is a pattern. There are a total of 16 pieces in each collection but only 50 collections of each were ever made. The interest in numismatic patterns is strong all over the world, but only 50 collectors in the entire world can ever hope to own one and perhaps you can be one. This set is from Cyprus, formally under British rule and one of the most popular places for Brits to holiday. Let me tell you when the European dealers heard we had this set, they all w

In the latest of our series of Cypriot coins issued when it was part of the British Empire, we can now offer you the 18-piastre coin of Queen Victoria. It was only issued in 1901, the last year of her reign, so relatively few were struck.

These magnificent silver coins come in Fine condition.

Edward VII Double Florin Patinas 1902

The Double Florin was only issued for four years 1887-90, but that wasn’t good enough for our friend, he thought the Double Florin was ‘neat’. So he hired a fantastic engraver and made some of his own of King Edward VII. They are what is known as Patinas or retro-patterns to show what the coin might have looked like if it had actually been made at the time. Over the years they have become highly collectable, as collectors want an Edward VII Double Florin but of course, the Royal Mint never made any. They are large crown-sized and struck in Copper and a Goldine or gold colour metal. We bought a small group that had been put away some time ago when they had been struck. We have about 100 each of the copper and goldine issue. If you own one of these you will own something that most collectors don’t have, after all ‘They didn’t even make these’.
