Scotland, George III Scottish Patina in Pewter

The African nation of Somalia has honoured our most beautiful coin, the Gothic Crown, on its own coinage. It has issued them in crownsized and sovereign sized, the latter in a number of different metals. With a choice Gothic Crown now bringing over £2,500 at auction, it is out of most collectors ranges. The Gothic Crown in Gold is now worth over £250,000! We can offer the crownsized Gothic Crown in Prooflike Uncirculated cupronickel. Own these handsome pieces at prices that are much more affordable. They are our most beautiful coin…

We were told by the people who struck the Patina crownsized retro patterns that striking anything in Pewter was something they did not relish. It is hard to strike, it is messy to strike and they would rather use another metal. But these George III Ireland Patina retro patterns are struck in Proof Pewter and we think they look great. Forget the work and the mess the finished product is great. Because they were struck in Pewter, the mintages are limited. Get them while you can…

When Nelson Mandela was finally released from prison after many years of hard labor, he shocked the world. He came out in a suit and didn’t hate those who put him inside. Rather he realised that he could help his country go forward and regain its place in the world. He was a hero and loved and admired by not only his own countrymen but by people all over the world. The South African Government made both a coin and a banknote with his portrait on them. A friend in South Africa made up a handsome folder with both the coin and the banknote, which we are now proud to be able to offer. Supplies are running out and we don’t know where or when we will be able to get any more. A true gentleman, someone who put his country before himself and someone we admire.
