The coins of Morocco are very hard to get as they won’t let you take them out of the country. One of our contacts brought these to us. They are the bi-metallic 10 Dirham coins of 2019. They feature the King on one side and a castle on the other side. Not an easy coin to find and our supplies are very limited. If you collect bi-metallic coins it could be one that you are missing. They are Uncirculated and very difficult to find, outside of Morocco.
These are 50 Paisa issued in VS2004/5 or our dates 1948 and 1949. They are listed as KM718 and the coins on offer are in Extremely Fine condition. We have never seen them in such a high grade before. There are local designs on both sides with the legend in Nepalese which, to be honest, we cannot read. They are silver and in Extremely Fine condition and we have never seen them so nice. It is a coin that you don’t see and we have never offered before and at this price, they are great value.
The creation of a unified monetary system in the Netherlands in the early 18th century saw the introduction of the guilder or gulden. Thanks to similarities in size and quality, old ducats and “rijksdaalder” became 2½ guilders. The coin was routinely nicknamed a rijksdaalder right up to the introduction of the euro in 2002. We have a number of these coins issued in silver between 1959 and 1966 and in Extremely Fine condition. These were the last of the denominations to be struck in silver before being replaced by nickel.
The Half Cent coin of the Netherlands is the smallest coin they have ever issued. Because it was so widely used you usually see them in worn condition. We have a small group of the 1906 Netherlands Half Cent in Brilliant Uncirculated and Choice Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins are in an outstanding condition. Get them while you can!

These silver 1 Gulden pieces were issued under Queen Juliana between 1954-1968. You have the Queen’s portrait on one side and the crowned standing lion of the Netherlands on the other side. The coins are in Extremely Fine condition and now of course have been replaced by Euro coins. Shame to see history obliterated in order to push a far less attractive issue. A coin struck in silver when money was money…
Way out in the Far East is a place to this day that has not been fully explored, New Guinea. It was under British rule during the reigns of both King George V and his son King George VI. Both Monarchs struck Sterling Silver Shillings for local use, this was the highest denomination struck. They were struck with a hole in the middle so they could be strung and worn around the neck of the locals, after all, most didn’t wear trousers. The coins on offer are struck in Sterling Silver here offer one of George V. They only made 2 dates of each King. Supplies are limited.

In 1953 Queen Elizabeth II was Crowned at her Coronation Ceremony. Only two countries in the world issued Special Coronation Crowns, two others issued crowns, but they were not special issues. New Zealand and Great Britain were the only two countries to issue Coronation Crowns. In fact it was the only Queen Elizabeth II pre-decimal crown to be issued by New Zealand. Only 250,000 were struck and today it is not easy to find. You have the uncrowned bust of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a crowned E II R on the other side. The examples that we have on offer are in Uncirculatedcondition. You may have the British issue in your collection, but do you have the New Zealand issue in your collection?
These beautiful medallions were issued in 2012 for Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. I thought we sold out years ago, but Steve found these just recently. On one side is a beautiful portrait of H. M. Queen Elizabeth II but it is the other side that has caused so much interest. This New Zealand issue has the reverse of the Waitangi Crown of 1935. Both come in a most unusually cut folder and today are almost impossible to get. They are full crownsized and struck in Prooflike platinum coloured alloy, designed by Donald R. Golder. Supplies are very limited and I think you will love them.
A couple of issues ago we ran the George V silver type set of New Zealand coins, this issue we offer the King George VI silver type set. Because they are newer coins, they will be in slightly better condition than the George V set. All the coins were issued between 1937-1946 and you get the Halfcrown, Florin, Shilling, Sixpence and Threepence all struck in silver plus the Penny and Halfpenny in Bronze. In fact these were the last New Zealand coins struck in silver for general circulation. The population of New Zealand is rather small so they didn’t have to make so many coins and remember these are the last silver coins of New Zealand.
