Here we present a Carpenter & Howlett enamelled Halfpences from 1975. The Halfpence was issued between 1971 and 1984, but the 1972 and 1984 were not issued for circulation and the 1983 was withdrawn quickly from circulation.

Audrey Hepburn was a famous actress, 1929-1993, who was perhaps best known for her role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But I will always remember her for her role in My Fair Lady, she went from Covent Garden flower seller to a lady. We have been able to buy a small quantity of a wonderful collection of five full-colour medallions honouring Audrey Hepburn. Each crownsized medal has a different picture of Ms Hepburn from one of her films. They are in beautiful proof condition and the collection comes in a handsome presentation case. The reverse has her smoking a cigarette in a very long holder with a rose. The obverse has her and the line ‘I just do my thing’. The medals are gold plated and you get all five medals, each in a protective plastic case in the presentation case for just £19.50. She was a fine actress and this is a wonderful remembrance at a most reasonable price… Less than £5 each!

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.
