This crown or 50 Afghanis was issued when the war there wasn’t of all that much interest to us. It was issued in 1995 for the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. You have a young man sitting contemplating with birds gathering around him. You have the arms of Afghanistan on the other side with the denomination. In 1995 the Royal Mint issued a collection of crowns for the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, they didn’t sell that well, so they didn’t make all that many of them. We were able to buy up all the remaining coins and all are in Uncirculated condition. A Scarce crown to find and at our price of just £8.95.

These Argentina 2 Centavos were issued from 1882-1896. They are about the size of the old British Penny. They are being sold by type and not by date. The coins are about 150 years old and in Fine or better condition. Not a coin you see every day and to be honest our history with Argentina is not great. It even seems that they are going for the Falkland Islands again. Inflation was 99% in Argentina last year. It seems when things go bad they think of trying to invade somewhere.

Obverse features the 'Sun of May' within the logo of the Bicentenary for the celebration of the 2010 May Revolution.The reverse features the value within the logo of the bicentenary.

Issued for the Bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence of Argetnina, the obverse of this coin features the nucleus on top, the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom, sustained by pica and clasped hands. The reverse features a stylization of the sun.

Between 1978 and 1981 Argentina issued a 50 peso coin to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the birth of General José de San Martín in 1778. Although he is often called the Liberator of Argentina, San Martín was also instrumental in leading the struggle for independence, of Chile and Peru from the Spanish Empire. The coins are minted in brass-clad steel and come in uncirculated condition.

When the Royal Wedding of Charles & Camilla took place in 2005, it was kept as a very low key affair. Now some 16 years later we discover that not one, but two different Silver Proof crowns were issued to honour the event. Issued in VERY limited quantities! The Crown from the Ascension Islands, had a total mintage of just 200 pieces in Proof Sterling Silver. Overlooked by collectors because they were not publicised and unknown until now. We purchased the entire mintage of these Sterling Silver Proof crowns. Because the coins have the Queen’s portrait on them, these crowns had to be officially sanctioned by the Palace. Unknown until now, these silver proof crowns portray our next King and Queen. Add them to your collection while you still have the chance. Mintage is just 200!

These three silver Proof crowns of the Ascension Islands are most unusual and ones you don’t often see. They were issued to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Queen’s Accession. Today mints are charging around £80 for a silver proof crown, but these can be yours for only £37.50 each, but supplies are very small…

The Australian mint issued just 1,000 pieces each of these three small silver dollars for the World Money Fair in Berlin in 2016. Each coin has an animal on them and a letter in colour. H. M. Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of each coin. We have offered these three as a set in the card holder of issue, but now all we have is the coins on their own. You have ‘W’ with a wombat, ‘F’ with a fruit bat and ‘M’ with a bid. Each piece comes in the capsule, they are Brilliant Uncirculated condition, weigh 11.66 grams of 999 fine silver.

In 1927 Australia issued its first commemorative Florin. It was for the opening of their new Parliament building in Canberra. They have a portrait of King George V on one side and the new Parliament building on the other side. They are struck in Sterling Silver and usually come in Very Fine condition. I managed to buy just 10 pieces in About Uncirculated condition. They are difficult to find in such a high grade.

Looking at this Australian silver Threepence you would say it is a King George V Threepence. But most likely it was struck in the ten months that Edward VIII was King and it could even have been minted under King George VI. It is the last dated Threepence of King George V, that is it is dated 1936, the year of three kings. The coins are silver and are in Very Good-Fine condition. We only have a small quantity and it is your choice which King they are.

After Australia went over to the decimal system, their pre-decimal was complete and finished. During the period 1910-1963 they issued only four commemorative coins and they were all florins. We can offer you the last of the four coins issued. This fourth and last of the Australian commemorative Florins was struck for the Royal visit of the new Queen, Queen Elizabeth II. As with the 1951 issue this coin was struck in .500 silver, offered here in Extremely Fine.

On the 22nd of July 2013 Prince George was born to Prince William and Princess Catherine. Australia issued a handsome Silver Proof Crown or Dollar to honour the event. You have the happy couple with the baby on one side and the delighted Grand Mother, Elizabeth II on the other side. Struck in 99.9 pure silver, this crownsized coin weighs 31.135 grams or a full troy ounce of silver. The mintage was 10,000 pieces and each comes with a certificate of authenticity and a presentation case from the Perth Mint. As the Royal Mint charges about £80 for a crownsized coin in only Sterling Silver, this is a real finding at only £49.50! After all, this little infant will one day be our King...

In 2017 & 2018 Australia issued some one ounce coins depicting their first decimal coins. In 2018 they issued the 2 Cent coin, now in one ounce of pure high relief silver. The coin is in Proof condition, in its original box and has a certificate. Most importantly they only made 1,500 of these!

This 1927 Florin was issued by Australia to show off their new Parliament Building in Canberra. It was their first commemorative coin but, then again, they had only been issuing coins since 1910. You have the crowned bust of King George V on one side and the new Parliament Building on the other side. They issued quite a lot of these coins and they are almost common in Fine and Very Fine condition, but in the higher grades they are quite tough to find. If you want a choice example, it would be hard to find better than these…
