From the late 1800s until about 1920 the French issued a beautiful set of coins 1/2 Franc to the 2 Francs. It had a woman sowing grain and we guess was based on the paintings of Millet. We've managed to put together date sets of the three silver denominations, Half Franc, One Franc, and Two Francs. This set is dated 1916. All sets contain matching dates and the coins are in Extremely Fine or better condition. They are still toned, as we have not touched them. But we do believe these are some of the most attractive coins that France has issued in modern times. Supplies are extremely limited and we think they are beautiful.

Silver coin from the Middle-Ages, nearly 800 years old.

These crownsized medallions honour the French artist Henri Matisse. They carry a nominal value of ‘20 Euros’ and come in both cupro-nickel and goldine metals. They are in Prooflike condition and we thought we sold out years ago. Steve and Peter have been going through some safes we have not opened in years and they came across them. We have seen them being sold on The Continent for some silly prices.

Peter has found a small group of silver One Franc coins issued in France under the reign of Napoleon III (1842-1870). There are a number of different types and dates, but we are selling them as they come. All coins are selected circulated condition and are at least 150 years old. We know about Napoleon and Napoleon III but not many people know what happened to Napoleon II. Interesting coins struck in silver, order more than one coin and we will try to give you different types where possible.

We have a wonderful collection of French coins issued just before they started to issue Euro coins. There are nine different French coins in this collection, all in selected circulated condition. There are two different 10 Franc coins including a bi-metallic one. You get the 5, 10 and 20 Centimes plus the 1/2 Franc, 1, 2, 5 Francs plus two types of the 10 Francs. A total of nine different French coins, all used before the Euro existed and who knows they might need them again… Not easy to put nine different French coins together, but we have. You can own the entire collection for a very reasonable price. If the Euro ceases to exist, they might use Francs again…

Gambia is one of the smallest countries on the African Continent by land area. But it is one country that a lot of British tourists go to. Getting the coins out of the country can be a problem, but a friend managed it. There are four Brilliant Uncirculated coins in the set, 1 Butut with ground nuts, 5 Bututs with a sailboat, 10 Bututs with a bird on it and the 25 Bututs with a palm tree. The coins are all dated 1998 and in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

This two Brilliant Uncirculated brass jettons or tokens were made by the famous family o Lauer of Nuremberg, Germany sometime in the early 1800s. You have two different, One with the helmeted head of Minerva and the legend in German ‘Fear God’. The reverse has a church on it and it is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The second piece has Pax or peace wearing a Corinthian helmet with the legend ‘Peace’. Again it is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. You can have the pair of early 1800’s jettons from Nuremburg, Germany, a fantastic offer, while supplies last.

This is a most unusual Sterling Silver Proof Crown. Not that it honours the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation, but the country that issued it, the African nation of Ghana. You have a youthful portrait of the Queen on one side and a more mature portrait of the Queen on the other side. The denomination is 500 Sika and it has the Ghana coat of arms on it. Most unusual and if you want something no one else has, then this is it. A very limited number of these coins in stock, once they are gone they are gone…

We have dug out these Greek 10 Euro patterns that we have in stock and we thought they would make an interesting item for the Phoenix. They first thought it was going to be called the Ecu and not the Euro. This crownsized piece features a Discus thrower on one side and a sailing vessel from the time of the Greek empire. It is struck in Brilliant Uncirculated brass.

In the 1970s Greece became a Republic and they had terrible inflation. They started to strike their coins in aluminium. It didn’t work because even the value of aluminium was greater than their face value. About 30 years ago we are able to buy a quantity of these coins from a friend in Greece. The coins are all in Uncirculated condition and we haven’t seen any quantity of these coins since. I think they are underappreciated and know that they are scarcer than either the catalogue or collectors realise. Were we offer the 1973 10 Lepta in Unc. We sell nothing as an investment, but these coins are harder to find than most people realise. Get them while you can…
