This is a coin that we have never seen, and as such may well be Rare. A silver proof crown to celebrate Prince William’s 21st birthday in 2003, nothing unusual there, but… the denomination is 4000 Kwacha, it was issued by Zambia and H.M. the Queen is on the obverse. Well to make it even stranger Prince William is riding a jet ski. It is from our famous hoard of unknown crowns, this one is certainly ‘unusual’ to say the least. Proof Sterling Silver and it comes in a capsule. William is most likely to be a future King, which makes this crown even more interesting.

On the 24th of October 1965, Zambia celebrated its first year of independence. The Royal Mint issued a special commemorative crown of Five Shillings for them. On one side you have President Kaunda and on the other the arms of Zambia. This crown is now 55 years old, struck in Proof cupro-nickel by the Royal Mint and is quite scarce. After all, coins in Africa usually turn up well and truly circulated, as they actually use their own coins. It has been quite some time since we were last able to offer this scarce crown of Zambia and don’t forget it is in Proof condition

In the years since its creation in 1980, the Zimbabwe dollar has been a byword for economic instability and hyperinflation, having been re-denominated four times since then. However, this was not the case in the early years. This 1 cent coin dated 1997, made of bronze-plated steel, was minted in 1997 and came just before the first major currency crash later that same year. These uncirculated coins show the Great Zimbabwe Bird, or bateleur eagle on the obverse and the leaves of the flame lily on the reverse.
