We say this coin is Rare because you don’t often see it offered for sale. We were lucky enough to obtain 33 pieces in choice Proof condition. It was issued in 2001 for Her Majesty the Queen’s 75th birthday 1926-2001. You have a portrait of the Queen on both the obverse and the reverse, so if you use this coin for gambling, it is my advice to always call ‘Heads’. It has a face value of 50 Pence and is struck in Proof Sterling Silver and is one you almost never see. Remember we were able to only obtain 33 coins and we believe we will have more collectors than that who will want one…

The 2024 St Helena Athenian Owl 1oz .999 Silver Coin depicts a majestic owl perched on a tree branch, against a backdrop featuring a crescent moon, olive branch of peace, and the letters ‘AOE’ meaning ‘of the Athenians’. The obverse bears the portrait of King Charles III, the coin’s weight and fineness, 2024 date, and the denomination of £1. The reverse design honours the classical ancient Athenian Tetradrachm which was the most influential coin in the world at the time. The owl symbolises strength, wealth, wisdom, and insight. In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Athena kept an owl on her shoulder that revealed truths to her, representing wisdom and knowledge.

In 1985St. Thomas & Prince issued a cupro-nickel crown or 100 Dobras to honour their 10th anniversary of Independence. It is a small and fascinating island, however, getting coins or banknotes from there is almost impossible. Two banknote dealers who went there were put in jail accused of money laundering. So this Crown is even more interesting and important. I think it is the first crown we have had from St. Thomas & Prince. You have an outline picture of the island on one side and the coat of arms on the reverse with two birds holding it up. A most unusual and difficult crown to find, in fact, most of this country's coins are difficult to obtain...

The Democratic Republic of St. Thomas and Prince issued some of the rarest Olympic Crowns ever struck. They were made in 1993 for the Atlanta Olympics, they were struck in Proof cupro-nickel and while the mintages are unknown, you almost never see these coins for sale. We have obtained a very limited number of the set of 12 different Crowns. The sports represented are: wrestling, soccer, boxing, cycling, karate, running, field hockey, track & field, surfing, swimming, gymnastics and tennis. Many of these sports have not been represented on Olympic coins before. We offer the complete collection of 12 Proof Olympic Crowns for just £95, which we think is quite a bargain. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Why are these two coins scarce? Because they no longer make small coins for circulation, they use banknotes. These two coins were issued in 1971 and the English version of their name is Saint Thomas & Prince Islands. Both the 10 Centavos and the 20 Centavos are one year only type coins. And now 48 years old. They are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and coins that you just don’t see any more. Scarce coins from a country that no longer makes small coins. If you don’t have them then this is your chance to get two scarce coins.

We don’t often come across coins from Sudan, but we can now offer this brass 1 dinar coin from 1994. The dinar circulated between 1992 and 2007 and was significant in that it was one of the very few currencies that never had any official subdivision. The obverse of this rather plain coin depicts the Central Bank of Sudan Building, with the denomination and the Islamic year 1415, which corresponds to 1994 AD.

In 1977 Sudan marked the 8th Anniversary of the revolution, which brought Colonel Gaafar Nimeiry to power in 1969, by issuing this 50 qirsh coin. The anniversary is mentioned on the obverse of the coin which bears the national emblem of the Democratic Republic of Sudan. However, the reverse commemorates the United Nations FAO programme by depicting a wheat ear inside a cog wheel. The coin is available in uncirculated condition.
