World Coins 2024

This is an interesting set of 2 coins struck for only one year towards the end of the short reign of King Norodom Suramarit after the Kingdom of Cambodia withdrew from French Indochina in 1953. Although struck in aluminium, these beautiful coins come in Uncirculated condition. The obverse of the 20 sen shows 2 ceremonial bowls with sun, while that of the 50 sen features the kingdom’s royal coat of arms. The obverse of both has “Kingdom of Cambodia” in French as the outer legend, with the denomination inside a floral wreath.

In 1966 Australia switched from its old pre-decimal pound to its new decimal dollar, which consisted of 100 cents. However, the country struck its last ever sixpences three years earlier in 1963. Unlike their UK counterparts, these coins were still being struck in .500 silver. They bear the image of a young Elizabeth II wearing a laurel wreath and the coat of arms of Australia.

After Germany occupied Belgium 1940, all silver coinage was discontinued. By the following year, zinc coinage had replaced all other metals for lower denomination coins in circulation. We can now off er you a set of 3 of these coins. They are the 25 centimes, the 1 franc and the 5 franc coins.

About ten years ago we bought a large group of silver Groats or 4d from British Guiana. British Guiana is at the top of South America and the coins we bought have been ‘misplaced’ for ten years or more. We not only found them but also found out how many we had. These are difficult coins to find and are some of the last of the silver groats issued. Here we offer the 1942 Groat. They were struck in silver and are in selected circulated condition. Now that we have found them, We can offer them to our collectors, but supplies are very limited. A Scarce coin that several dealers in the Far East wanted, but we couldn’t find them at the time…

Nearly 110 years old and in Uncirculated condition.

As part of this issue commemorating D-Day, we are offering this pair of Canadian 5-cent coins minted between 1943 and 1945 to support the war eff ort. The 1943 coin was struck in tombac (a copper-zinc alloy), and the same coin in chromium plated steel, which circulated between 1944 and 1945. On the obverse of both coins is a “V” to represent victory and the value of the coin, flanked by 2 maple leaves with a superimposed torch. If you look carefully, you will also see a Morse code inscription which means “We win when we work willingly”. These coins come in Very Fine condition.

The New 2024 Canadian Maple Leaf's have come in and for the first time they feature the bust of King Charles III. Each coin contains one ounce of 999.9 fi ne silver. The coins have a multifaceted surface which makes them not only shine but gleam as well. You can’t get any coins with any purer silver than these. You will love them. Although the price of silver has been on the move, we have tried to keep our prices as low as possible.

This is a pair of Father and Son silver half dollars issued by Canada. The Father is King George V and the Son is King George VI. Both have been used as actual money and are in circulated condition. The George V was issued from 1911-1936 and the George VI from 1937-1952. They were the largest silver coins in everyday usage and have the Monarchs portrait on the obverse. Dates will be of our choice.

Under the British rule of Cyprus they issued silver coins for Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V and George VI. The most difficult coins to get are those of King Edward VII, because he reigned for such a short period of time. We have just bought a small group of the largest silver denomination made for Edward VII, the 18 Piastres of 1907, and in Fine condition. I would have to say these are Rare, the last time we had one we charged £110 for it! Now we have 10 pieces and they came in most reasonably. So for ten lucky collectors you can own one at Half Price, yes 50% off our last price. At this level they are priced to sell, don’t miss out, only 10 available!
