World Coins Countries U-Z

We have just purchased a group of King George VI Silver Threepences from New Zealand, all were issued during World War II. This was the furthest part of the British Empire at the time and these coins must have had a heck of journey to get to New Zealand. All coins are in Fine condition and were issued between 1940 and 1946.

Each of these beautifully silvered 100 Shillings was issued in 2010. On one side they have the arms of Uganda and on the reverse a full colour photo of a Man Eating Bear! We had never even seen these coins until Phil bought this small group. They are extra big, look like solid silver but in fact are silver plated. Each comes in a large sized protective capsule, so you can see both sides of the coin. You get the Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear and Black Bear, which we think is the complete set. These are so large and beautiful that when you lay them out together it is most impressive. You can own all three extra large silvered crowns for the special price of just £26.95 the three. At this price we hope you are impressed, Britain’s Coin Shop has done it again.

50th anniv of United Nations Uncirculated

In 1932 Sweden issued a commemorative 2 Kronor for the 300th anniversary of the death of Gustaf I, 1632-1932. It is a handsome silver piece with the bust of Gustaf I facing right wearing a laurel wreath. The other side has a very ornate cartouche and a rather gothic style. Nice coin and in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which considering that they are now 87 years old is quite amazing!

We have another two very large sized crowns or 100 Shillings from Uganda to offer you. They are part of their ‘Man Eaters’ series. They are large crownsized, heavily silver plated, in Proof condition with a full colour photograph and come in protective capsules. The two man eaters are: Killer Whale and the Shark.

From the Bank of Uganda we offer this large sized 100 Shillings issued in 2010 as part of their Man Eaters Series. On one side is a full colour picture of an Anaconda and on the reverse is the coat of arms of Uganda, an animal and a bird holding up a native shield with spears. The dealer who originally bought these 100 Shillings thought that they were silver, when in fact they are just heavily silver plated. They are in Proof condition in a protective capsule. The price is more than right and the last Anaconda was in the Peruvian Amazon.

In 1988 the United States Mint issued a Special Silver Dollar for the Summer Olympics, held in Seoul, South Korea. In 1983 and 1984 the Mint issued Silver Dollars for the Los Angeles Olympics. This one is a little more difficult to find. You have the Olympic Torch lighting the torch from the Statue of Liberty. The other side has the Olympic rings, the value, and the United States of America. They are struck in 900 fine Silver and are in Proof condition. Now 30 years old and not all that easy to find and they do look quite handsome in Proof condition.

In 1922 the United States issued a Silver Dollar, called the Peace Dollar Commemorating the end of World War I. They had issued one in 1921 but it was a slightly different design and harder to strike and thus this 1922 is really the first year of issue. These Silver Dollars are full crownsized, struck in 900 fine silver and in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. They are beautiful to look at and I think a rather fantastic coin to own. These coins were made to circulate, but the ones we have to offer, have never circulated and are as nice as the day they were struck some 95 years ago. A similar British Crown struck around that time and in similar condition would cost you £600 - £700 today.

The Kennedy Half Dollar was issued for the first time in 1964, just after the 22nd of November 1963, the date of his assassination. They still make these coins today, but not usually for circulation. They have made them at different Mints; this one is from Philadelphia and as such has no mintmark. These coins are struck in base metal and are in Uncirculated condition. If you are missing any of these dates, now is your chance to add them to your collection. This one is from 1974.

In 1976 the United States celebrated its 200th anniversary of freedom from this country. It is called their Bicentennial and they issued 3 special coins to honour this event. This is the largest coin of three, the Proof Silver Dollar. The obverse shows Ike Eisenhower with two different dates 1776 – 1976. The reverse shows the moon with the Liberty Bell. These silver dollars are brilliant proof and they were struck only in 1976. We think it is both a beautiful silver proof silver dollar and also very reasonably priced. But supplies are limited, and it has been some time since we were last able to offer them.

Steve just found a group of 1977 Kennedy Half Dollars in Proof condition. What he did tell us is that there are NOT many in stock, so if you want them, get it now!
