These handsome Patina retro-patterns show what Double Florin of King Edward VIII might have looked like had it been issued by Jersey in 1901. They are available here in goldine, struck in Proof condition and have a very low mintage. In fact just 360 were struck overall.
Before the Euro was officially issued a number of private patterns were struck. Now that the Euro is being used these pieces can never be struck again! We have the remaining Euro inventory of the company that issued them. Once they are gone there can never be any more. You can own this one which honours Admiral Nelson and features H.M.S. Victory. Offered in Gilding Metal in Uncirculated condition.
As many of you who collect Euros know, anything from Monaco is rare and expensive. The same holds true for the Pattern Ecu pieces of 1994. At that time everyone thought the new coinage was going to be called Ecus and not Euros. These were privately issued and highly collected. We have bought out the last of the group that was struck in 1994 and our prices are far more reasonable. These pieces can never be struck again. They have the famous Montgolfier’s balloon taking off over a country house with air balloons and sailing ships over a map of Europe
There is much interest in the Patinas from our colonial past. Mintages were low, and overseas interest is high. We have sold out or nearly on many of the issues. Supplies are very limited and prices are going up as the supply goes down, don’t miss out on them. For this issue we have the Edward VIII, New Zealand bare head in Copper. They were struck in Proof condition to the highest quality and have a mintages of just 475.
At this time of year tennis seems to be on many British people’s minds, what with Wimbledon and all. So I found a group of Rare patterns issued for tennis for the 1996 Olympics held in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States. They only made 125 pieces in each metal and thickness. So these are some of the rarest Olympic coins you will ever see. The type on offer here is the Aluminium Piedfort. Each coin is full crownsized and struck in proof condition. They are struck at one of the oldest mints in the world in Romania, which has been in business for centuries and the quality is outstanding. An outstanding feature is the denomination, 100 Lei, is on the edge, so as not to detract from the design of the coin.

One of the oldest mints in the world, the Romanian Mint made patterns for crowns they were going to issue for the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, United States and Nagano, Japan. They were never issued and thus only the patterns exist. The mintage was only 125 pieces in each metal and size (i.e. single thickness or piedfort). So they are some of the RAREST Olympic coins around. We bought quite a lot of the mintage, but over the years we have sold out of many of them.
This is a RARE Piedfort Pattern made by the Romania Mint for the Winter Olympics held in Nagano Japan in 1998. It depicts a couple Ice Dancing on one side and the arms of Romania on the other side. This is a Piedfort, that means that it is double the normal thickness. So on a crown that is quite a huge piece. The total mintage is just 125, quite a Rare piece and no doubt very collectable in Japan. It was issued in 1989 and is a very unusual coin, in that the denomination is on the edge, so as not to spoil the design.
