Dutch 1 Gulden 1896 Coin Replica – Queen Wilhelmina Netherlands Historical Collectible
£14.99
This Dutch 1 Gulden 1896 coin replica is inspired by one of the most elegant silver coins ever struck by the Royal Dutch Mint. The obverse features a finely detailed portrait of Queen Wilhelmina as a young girl — left-facing, her hair flowing freely, a pearl necklace at her collar — with the inscription Wilhelmina Koningin der Nederlanden arching around the border in the classic Dutch numismatic tradition. The reverse bears the Dutch coat of arms: a crowned shield with a rampant lion, the denomination 1 G flanking the shield, and the full inscription Munt van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden · 1896 around the rim.
This piece is a Dutch historical collectible coin inspired by the 1896 Netherlands 1 Gulden. It is designed for display, collection, and gifting, and captures the craftsmanship of late 19th-century European silver coinage in a durable modern reproduction.
About the Design
Queen Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria of Orange-Nassau became Queen of the Netherlands on 23 November 1890, aged just ten years old, following the death of her father King William III. She reigned for 58 years — the longest of any Dutch monarch — until her abdication in 1948 in favour of her daughter Juliana. The 1896 1 Gulden was struck during the early years of her reign, when she was still a teenager, and features the famous child portrait by sculptor Petrus Pander that appeared on Dutch coinage from 1891 to 1897. The Dutch Gulden — from the Latin aureus, meaning golden — was the currency of the Netherlands from 1680 until the introduction of the Euro in 2002. The rampant lion on the reverse is the central charge of the Dutch coat of arms, used continuously since the 13th century.

French 20 Franc Rooster Coin 1914 – Marianne & Coq Gaulois Collectible
£15.99
This French 20 Franc Rooster collectible coin is inspired by one of the most beloved and recognisable designs in European numismatic history. The obverse features the iconic portrait of Marianne — the allegorical figure of the French Republic — in right profile, wearing a laurel wreath and a Phrygian cap, encircled by the inscription REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE and signed by the engraver J.C. Chaplain. The reverse displays the proud Gallic Rooster (Le Coq Gaulois) standing tall, encircled by France's national motto LIBERTÉ · ÉGALITÉ · FRATERNITÉ, with the denomination 20 Fcs and the date 1914 below.
The French 20 Franc Rooster was struck from 1899 to 1914 and represents the final flourish of the Belle Époque — the golden age of French culture, art, and prosperity before the outbreak of World War I. The 1914 issue is the last year of this celebrated series, making it a particularly poignant piece for collectors of European and French history. This piece is a French historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Marianne is the national personification of the French Republic, representing liberty, equality, and reason. She has appeared on French coins, stamps, and official seals since the Revolution. The Gallic Rooster — Le Coq Gaulois — is one of France's oldest national symbols, rooted in a Latin wordplay between gallus (Gaul) and gallus (rooster). It has represented French national pride and vigilance for centuries. Together on the 20 Franc coin, these two symbols encapsulate the spirit of the Third French Republic at its height. The engraver Jules-Clément Chaplain was one of the most celebrated medallists of the 19th century, and his Marianne portrait is considered a masterpiece of French numismatic art.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the French 20 Franc Rooster coin?
The French 20 Franc Rooster (or Coq Gaulois) was a gold coin struck by the French Third Republic from 1899 to 1914. It featured Marianne on the obverse and the Gallic Rooster on the reverse, and was one of the most widely circulated gold coins in pre-WWI Europe. The 1914 issue is the final year of the series, struck just as World War I began and France suspended gold coinage — making it a historically significant date for collectors.
Who is Marianne and why does she appear on French coins?
Marianne is the allegorical personification of the French Republic, representing the values of Liberté, Égalité, and Fraternité. She has appeared on French coins, stamps, and official seals since the Revolution of 1789. The portrait on this coin was designed by Jules-Clément Chaplain, one of the most celebrated French medallists of the 19th century, and is considered one of the finest Marianne portraits in French numismatic history.
What material is this coin made from?
This collectible coin is made from a brass base with a gold-tone plating applied for a premium display finish. It is not made from gold bullion and has no precious metal content. The brass construction gives it a solid, weighty feel while the gold-tone finish replicates the warm lustre of the original historic coin.
Is this a good gift for a French history or coin enthusiast?

Mexican 8 Reales 1882 Coin – Republica Mexicana Historical Collectible
£14.99
This Mexican 8 Reales 1882 collectible coin is inspired by one of the most celebrated designs in Latin American numismatic history. The obverse features the iconic Phrygian cap — a universal symbol of liberty — radiating bold sunbeams in every direction, with the word LIBERTAD inscribed across the cap itself. The legend reads 8 R.G. 1882 J.S. 10D. 20Cs, denoting the Guadalajara mint (G), assayer initials J.S., fineness of 10 dineros 20 granos, and the year of issue. The reverse displays the Mexican national coat of arms: a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, devouring a serpent, encircled by the inscription REPUBLICA MEXICANA.
The 8 Reales was the workhorse denomination of the Spanish colonial and early Mexican monetary system — the direct ancestor of the modern peso and a coin that circulated across the Americas, Asia, and Europe as a trusted trade currency. The Guadalajara mint was one of Mexico's most prolific regional mints during the 19th century. This piece is a Mexican historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
The Phrygian cap and sunburst design was adopted by the Mexican Republic as a powerful symbol of independence and liberty following the break from Spanish colonial rule. The cap, historically associated with freed slaves in ancient Rome, became a universal emblem of republican freedom across the Americas. The eagle-and-serpent reverse traces its origins to the Aztec legend of Tenochtitlan — where the Mexica people were told to build their city where they found an eagle devouring a serpent on a cactus. This imagery remains the centrepiece of the Mexican national flag to this day.

Brazil 1832 960 Reis – Emperor Pedro II Imperial Arms Silver Collectible
£14.99
This Brazil 1832 960 Reis collectible replica captures one of the most distinctive silver coins of the Brazilian Empire. The obverse displays the denomination "960" at centre, enclosed within a laurel wreath and surrounded by floral ornaments, with the date "1832" and the Rio de Janeiro mint mark "R" below. The surrounding Latin inscription translates as "Peter II, by the Grace of God, Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil" — the full imperial title of Dom Pedro II. The reverse presents the Brazilian Imperial coat of arms: an armillary sphere on a shield, surmounted by an imperial crown and flanked by branches of coffee and tobacco tied with a ribbon bow, with a ring of stars along the lower border. The legend "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" — "In this sign you shall conquer" — arcs across the top, the motto of Emperor Constantine adopted by the Brazilian Empire.
The 960 Reis was the principal large silver denomination of early 19th-century Brazil, and one of the most fascinating coins in South American numismatic history. Many examples were struck directly over Spanish colonial 8 Reales (pieces of eight), with traces of the original host coin sometimes visible beneath the Brazilian design — a practice that makes each original a unique numismatic document of the transition from colonial to imperial rule. The 1832 issue from the Rio de Janeiro Mint represents the reign of Pedro II at its outset, just one year after he was proclaimed Emperor at the age of fourteen. This piece is a Brazilian Empire era historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Dom Pedro II (1825–1891) was the second and last Emperor of Brazil, reigning for nearly fifty years from 1831 to 1889. Ascending to the throne as a child following the abdication of his father Pedro I, he grew into one of the most respected statesmen of 19th-century Latin America — a patron of science, the arts, and education who corresponded with Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Louis Pasteur. His reign saw Brazil's emergence as a major world power, the abolition of slavery in 1888, and ultimately the republican revolution of 1889 that ended the Empire. The 1832 960 Reis was struck in the very first year of his formal reign, making it a coin of exceptional historical resonance.
The armillary sphere on the Brazilian Imperial coat of arms is one of the most evocative symbols in the Americas — a direct inheritance from the Portuguese Empire, where it had appeared on royal arms since the reign of Manuel I in the early 16th century. The sphere represents the celestial globe and Portugal's pioneering role in the Age of Discovery, when Portuguese navigators charted the seas of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Its presence on Brazilian Imperial coinage connects the new Empire to the full sweep of Lusophone history, from Vasco da Gama to the Amazon.
The motto "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" — "In this sign you shall conquer" — originates with the Emperor Constantine I, who according to tradition saw a vision of the Christian cross before the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD and adopted it as his battle standard. Its use on Brazilian Imperial coinage reflects the deep Catholic identity of the Empire and the dynasty's claim to rule by divine sanction — a tradition shared with the great Catholic monarchies of Europe and Iberia from which the Braganza dynasty descended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original 1832 Brazilian 960 Reis?
No. This is a modern commemorative collectible replica inspired by the genuine 1832 Brazil 960 Reis of Emperor Pedro II. It is not an original antique coin and has not been struck by the Rio de Janeiro Mint or any historical mint authority.

How is the coin packaged and shipped?

What is the significance of the 960 Reis denomination and why were they struck over Spanish coins?
The 960 Reis was the principal large silver denomination of the Brazilian monetary system in the early 19th century, equivalent in size and weight to the Spanish colonial 8 Reales (piece of eight) — the dominant trade coin of the Americas. To meet demand for silver coinage, the Brazilian and Portuguese mints frequently overstruck captured or imported Spanish 8 Reales with new Brazilian dies, creating coins that sometimes show traces of the original host coin beneath the surface. This practice makes original 960 Reis pieces uniquely fascinating to collectors as layered documents of colonial and imperial monetary history.

USA 1791 Washington President Cent – Large Eagle Pattern Token Collectible
£14.99
This USA 1791 Washington President Cent collectible replica reproduces one of the most historically significant pattern pieces in American numismatics. The obverse presents a left-facing military bust portrait of George Washington in uniform, encircled by the inscription "WASHINGTON PRESIDENT" above and the date "1791" below. The reverse displays a bold heraldic eagle with wings spread, clutching an olive branch in its right talon and a bundle of arrows in its left, with a striped shield on its breast, the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" on a ribbon across its wings, and "ONE CENT" arcing above — a design that anticipates the Great Seal of the United States.
The 1791 Washington President Cent was never an officially issued coin. Struck privately in England — most likely at Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint in Birmingham — it was produced as a proposed design for the new American republic's coinage before the US Mint was formally established by the Coinage Act of 1792. Today it is classified as a pattern token and is among the most sought-after pieces in early American numismatic history. This piece is a United States founding-era pattern token collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
In the years following American independence, the question of what the new republic's coinage should look like was deeply contested. Some proposed placing Washington's portrait on coins — following the European tradition of royal portraiture — while others, including Washington himself, felt that depicting a living leader on currency smacked too much of monarchy. This tension is embodied in the 1791 Washington cent series, which was produced privately in England as a speculative proposal for American coinage, never formally adopted, and never struck by any US government authority.
The obverse portrait shows Washington in military dress, a deliberate choice that emphasised his role as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army rather than as a head of state. The inscription "WASHINGTON PRESIDENT" identifies him by his new constitutional title — the first use of that word on any coin — making this piece a remarkable document of the earliest days of the American presidency. The portrait style reflects the neoclassical engraving conventions of late 18th-century British coinage, lending the piece an authority and gravitas that suited its intended purpose as a proposed national coin.
The reverse eagle design draws directly on the iconography of the Great Seal of the United States, adopted in 1782. The heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, arrows, and the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Out of Many, One) would go on to become the defining symbol of American federal coinage — appearing on everything from the early Draped Bust series to the modern quarter. Seeing it here, in 1791, on a privately struck pattern piece, is to witness the visual language of American money in the very moment of its invention.

What is a pattern coin and why was the 1791 Washington Cent never officially issued?
A pattern coin is a trial or proposed design struck outside of official mint production — used to test a design, demonstrate a concept, or lobby for adoption. The 1791 Washington President Cent was struck privately in England, most likely at Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint in Birmingham, as a speculative proposal for the new American republic's coinage. It was never adopted or authorised by the US government. The Coinage Act establishing the US Mint was not passed until April 1792, meaning no official American cents existed when this piece was made. Today the 1791 Washington cents are classified as pattern tokens and are among the most prized pieces in early American numismatics.

Portugal 500 Reis – Queen Maria II Royal Arms Silver Collectible
£14.99
This Portugal 500 Reis collectible replica features the elegant bare-head portrait of Queen Maria II on the obverse, encircled by the Latin inscription meaning "Maria II, Queen of Portugal and the Algarves" and dated by year of issue. The reverse displays the full Portuguese royal coat of arms — a quartered shield bearing castles and armillary spheres, surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by richly draped mantling — with the denomination "500 REIS" inscribed below. Nine date variants are available spanning the reign of Maria II: 1837, 1838, 1839, 1843, 1844, 1845, 1848, 1850, and 1853.
The 500 Reis was the principal silver denomination of 19th-century Portugal, struck throughout the reign of Maria II as the country modernised its monetary system following the Liberal Wars. Each date in this series represents a distinct year of issue from the Lisbon Mint, making the full set a compelling chronicle of one of Portugal's most significant reigns. This piece is a Portuguese monarchy era historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Queen Maria II (1819–1853) ascended to the Portuguese throne in 1834 following the conclusion of the Liberal Wars — a civil conflict between her supporters and those of her absolutist uncle Miguel I. Her reign marked the consolidation of constitutional monarchy in Portugal and a period of significant political and economic reform. Known as "Maria the Educator" for her commitment to public instruction, she ruled until her death in 1853 and remains one of the most celebrated monarchs in Portuguese history.
The obverse portrait — a bare-headed profile in the neoclassical style — was a deliberate departure from the heavily draped and crowned portraits of earlier Portuguese coinage, reflecting the liberal and modernising values of Maria's reign. The portrait was engraved with fine detail, capturing the queen's distinctive features across multiple die varieties produced throughout the 1837–1853 period. Subtle differences in portrait style and legend spacing can be observed between the earlier and later dates in the series.
The reverse coat of arms is one of the most elaborate heraldic designs in 19th-century European coinage. The quartered shield combines the ancient Portuguese quinas (five blue shields arranged in a cross, each bearing five white bezants) with the red and white castle towers of the Algarve, all enclosed within a bordure of seven castles. The armillary sphere — a symbol of Portugal's Age of Discovery — appears at the base of the shield, while the royal crown above and the draped mantling to either side give the design a grandeur befitting the principal silver coin of the realm.

Poland 1637 Gdansk Thaler – Władysław IV Vasa Monarch Collectible
£14.99
This Poland 1637 Gdansk Thaler collectible replica depicts Władysław IV Vasa, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, in armoured bust portrait on the obverse. The surrounding Latin inscription translates as "Vladislaus, by the Grace of God, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania, Russia, Prussia, and hereditary King of Sweden and Hungary" — a full recitation of his royal titles. The reverse displays the heraldic arms of the City of Gdansk: a crowned shield bearing two iron crosses, supported by two rampant lions, with a crossed sword and palm branch above, and the legend "Silver money of the City of Gdansk, 1637" encircling the design.
The Gdansk Thaler was struck by the semi-autonomous Royal Prussian city of Gdansk (Danzig) under the suzerainty of the Polish Crown. Gdansk held the right to mint its own silver coinage, and its thalers were among the most artistically accomplished city coins of 17th-century Europe. This piece is a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth era city thaler collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Władysław IV Vasa (1595–1648) was one of the most capable rulers of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a vast multi-ethnic state that stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Elected King of Poland in 1632 following the death of his father Sigismund III, Władysław was also a claimant to the Swedish throne — a dynastic ambition reflected in his coin titles. His reign saw military successes against Russia and the Ottoman Empire, and a period of relative religious tolerance that made the Commonwealth a refuge for persecuted minorities across Europe.
Gdansk (Danzig) was the Commonwealth's most important port city and one of the wealthiest urban centres in northern Europe. As a member of the Hanseatic League and a major hub of Baltic grain trade, Gdansk enjoyed extensive civic privileges including the right to strike its own silver coinage. The city's thalers were produced to high artistic and metallurgical standards, with the two-lion heraldic reverse becoming one of the most recognisable designs in Polish numismatics. The fineness marking "925" on this issue reflects the sterling silver standard of the original coin.
The 1637 Thaler sits within a rich tradition of Gdansk city coinage that spans the 16th and 17th centuries. These coins circulated widely across the Baltic trade network and are today prized by collectors of Polish, German, and Hanseatic numismatics alike. The combination of a royal portrait obverse and a civic heraldic reverse makes the Gdansk Thaler a uniquely compelling document of the political relationship between the Polish Crown and its most powerful city.

What was the City of Gdansk and why did it mint its own coins?

As a member of the Hanseatic League, Gdansk held extensive civic privileges including the right to strike its own silver coinage.

Mexico 1872 Un Peso – Republic Eagle Silver Collectible
£14.99
This Mexico 1872 Un Peso collectible replica captures one of the most iconic silver coins of the Mexican Republic era. The obverse features the national coat of arms — a Mexican Eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, devouring a serpent — encircled by the legend "REPUBLICA MEXICANA" and dated 1872. The reverse displays the allegorical reverse design: a Phrygian cap radiating sunbeams above the word "LIBERTAD" (Liberty), flanked by a crossed sword and torch, with a hanging balance scale inscribed "LEY" (Law) and the denomination "UN PESO" below, alongside the Mexico City mint mark "Mo M." and silver fineness "902.7".
The Un Peso was the principal silver coin of the Mexican Republic throughout the second half of the 19th century, struck at multiple mints across the country. The 1872 issue from the Mexico City Mint (Mo) represents the Republic at a period of consolidation following the fall of the Second Mexican Empire and the restoration of Benito Juárez's presidency. This piece is a Mexican Republic era historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
The Mexican Republic Eagle — an eagle perched on a cactus growing from a rock in a lake, holding a serpent in its beak — is one of the oldest and most enduring symbols in the Americas, rooted in the Aztec founding legend of Tenochtitlan. It has appeared on Mexican coinage since the earliest years of independence and remains the centrepiece of the national coat of arms to this day. On the 1872 Un Peso, the eagle is rendered in fine detail, surrounded by laurel and oak branches tied with a ribbon.
The reverse allegory is rich with Enlightenment symbolism. The Phrygian cap — a classical symbol of liberty adopted widely during the Age of Revolution — radiates light above the word "LIBERTAD", representing the ideals of the Mexican Republic. The balance scales inscribed "LEY" (Law) reference the rule of law and constitutional governance, while the crossed sword and torch symbolise defence and knowledge. Together they form a powerful statement of republican values that defined Mexico's national identity in the post-independence era.
The fineness marking "902.7" reflects the actual silver content of the original coin — 902.7 parts per thousand fine silver — a standard maintained across the Mexican Peso series of this period. The Mexico City Mint mark "Mo M." identifies both the mint and the assayer responsible for the issue, details that make this design a faithful and historically grounded tribute to 19th-century Mexican numismatics.

Great Britain 1887 Crown – Queen Victoria Welsh Dragon Fantasy Collectible
£14.99
This Great Britain 1887 Crown collectible replica features the iconic Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse, encircled by the Latin inscription meaning "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britons" and dated 1887. The reverse presents a bold fantasy design centred on the Welsh Dragon — the ancient heraldic symbol of Wales — displayed within a bordered shield, flanked by leek sprigs, and inscribed with "ANNO DOM." above and "WALES CYMRU 5" below, referencing the Crown's five-shilling denomination alongside the bilingual Welsh national identity.
The 1887 Jubilee Head portrait was engraved by Joseph Edgar Boehm and introduced to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee — one of the most celebrated coin portraits in British numismatic history. This piece pairs that historic obverse with an imaginative Welsh commemorative reverse, making it a distinctive themed collectible for admirers of Victorian Britain and Welsh heritage. This piece is a Victorian-era inspired fantasy collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887 marked fifty years on the British throne and prompted a complete redesign of British coinage. The Jubilee Head — showing Victoria in profile wearing a small crown, veil, and jewelled necklace — replaced the earlier Young Head portrait and appeared across the full silver coinage series. The Crown (five shillings) was among the most impressive coins of the issue, struck in sterling silver with a high-relief portrait that remains one of the most recognisable Victorian coin designs.
The reverse of this collectible draws on the heraldry of Wales, featuring the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr — a symbol used by Welsh rulers for centuries and officially incorporated into the Royal Badge of Wales. The dragon is shown passant on a green and white field, here rendered in antique silver relief. The inscription "WALES CYMRU" uses both the English and Welsh names for the nation, while "ANNO DOM." (Anno Domini, "In the Year of the Lord") echoes the formal Latin conventions of Victorian-era coinage.
Together, the two sides create a piece that celebrates both the grandeur of Victorian Britain and the distinct cultural identity of Wales — a combination that makes this an appealing display piece for collectors interested in British history, Welsh heritage, or the aesthetics of 19th-century coinage.

British 1839 Una and the Lion Crown – Queen Victoria Young Head Collectible
£14.99
This British 1839 Una and the Lion Crown replica captures what many numismatists consider the most beautiful coin ever struck by the Royal Mint — the legendary Una and the Lion. The obverse features the exquisite bare-headed Young Head portrait of Queen Victoria with the inscription Victoria D.G. Britanniarum Regina F.D. — "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith" — encircling the design within a fine toothed border. The reverse displays the iconic design by master engraver William Wyon R.A. — Queen Victoria portrayed as Una, the embodiment of Truth from Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, crowned and robed in flowing drapery, her right hand resting gently on the mane of a great lion as she leads him forward — with the Latin inscription Dirige Deus Gressus Meos — "May God Direct My Steps" — above, and the date MDCCCXXXIX (1839) in Roman numerals at the base.
The Una and the Lion Crown was struck as a pattern proof coin in 1839 to mark the first coinage of Queen Victoria's reign — never intended for general circulation, it was produced in extremely limited numbers for presentation and collector purposes. The allegorical design — Victoria as Una guiding the British lion — was a deliberate statement of the young queen's moral authority and the strength of the British Empire at the dawn of the Victorian era. This 41mm replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary sculptural relief of Wyon's masterpiece. This piece is a British Victorian historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
William Wyon (1795–1851) is widely regarded as the greatest British coin engraver of the 19th century, and the Una and the Lion is considered his masterpiece. The design draws on Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene (1590), in which Una — representing Truth and the True Church — is accompanied and protected by a lion. Wyon's genius was to cast the young Queen Victoria in the role of Una, presenting her as a figure of moral purity guiding the power of Britain. The Latin motto Dirige Deus Gressus Meos — "May God Direct My Steps" — reinforces the spiritual and political symbolism of the design. The 1839 Una and the Lion is consistently ranked among the top ten most beautiful coins ever struck anywhere in the world.

Polish 1547 Talar Coin – King Sigismund II Augustus Renaissance Collectible
£14.99
This Polish Talar 1547 replica captures one of the finest coins of the Renaissance Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth — struck under King Sigismund II Augustus, the last ruler of the Jagiellonian dynasty. The obverse features a commanding right-facing crowned portrait of Sigismund II Augustus in full armour and jewelled crown, with the date 15·47 split either side and the Latin inscription Sigismvndvs·Aug·R·Ex·Polo·M·D·Li — "Sigismund Augustus, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania" — encircling the design. The reverse displays a magnificent four-lobed heraldic cross containing five shields: the Imperial Eagle at centre, the White Eagle of Poland (top-left), Hungarian stripes (top-right), the Lithuanian Vytis charging knight (bottom-left), and the Lithuanian Eagle (bottom-right) — all surmounted by a royal crown, with the inscription Lætabitvr·Rex·Devs·Invictvs·Aug — "The King shall rejoice, God unconquered, Augustus."
The 1547 Polish Talar is one of the most heraldically complex and artistically accomplished coins of the entire Renaissance period — a coin that encapsulates the full territorial and dynastic reach of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the height of its power. This 41mm brass replica with 2.5mm thickness faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and five-shield heraldic reverse of the original Kraków Mint strike. This piece is a Polish Renaissance historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Sigismund II Augustus (1520–1572) was the last king of the Jagiellonian dynasty and one of the most significant rulers in Polish history, presiding over the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the peak of its cultural and political golden age. His reign saw the signing of the Union of Lublin in 1569 — formally uniting Poland and Lithuania into one of the largest states in Europe. The five heraldic shields on the reverse reflect the extraordinary complexity of the Commonwealth's territorial claims, incorporating the symbols of Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, and the Holy Roman Empire. The Talar denomination — from which the word "dollar" ultimately derives — was the premier large silver coin of Central Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.

US 1893 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar – Columbus Commemorative Collectible
£14.99
This 1893 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar replica captures one of the most historically significant coins ever struck by the United States Mint — the first commemorative coin in American history. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Christopher Columbus — the first time a historical figure had ever appeared on a United States coin — with the inscription United States of America · Columbian Half Dollar encircling the design within a fine beaded border. The reverse displays Columbus's flagship Santa María sailing on stylised waves, with two hemispheric globes below representing the Old and New Worlds united by the 1492 voyage, the date 14 92 split either side, and the inscription World's Columbian Exposition Chicago · 1893.
The 1893 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar was issued to commemorate the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago — the legendary World's Fair celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas. It was the first US commemorative coin ever produced, setting the template for all American commemorative coinage that followed. This 31mm cupronickel plated silver replica with reeded edge faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and maritime detail of the original Philadelphia Mint strike. This piece is a United States historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
The World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 was one of the greatest events in American history — a vast World's Fair held on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, attended by over 27 million visitors and showcasing the technological and cultural achievements of the modern world. The Columbian Half Dollar was sold at the exposition as a souvenir, with proceeds helping to fund the fair. The Columbus portrait on the obverse — based on a contemporary medal — marked a watershed moment in American numismatic history, as US coins had previously featured only allegorical figures rather than historical portraits. The twin globes on the reverse symbolise the uniting of the Eastern and Western hemispheres through Columbus's 1492 voyage.

Italian 1958 500 Lire Columbus Caravels Coin – PROVA Repubblica Collectible
£14.99
This Italian 500 Lire 1958 PROVA replica captures one of the most celebrated coin designs in Italian numismatic history — the iconic Caravelle (Columbus's Fleet) issue of the Italian Republic. The obverse features a magnificent left-facing Renaissance female portrait representing Italia, wearing an elaborate headdress, surrounded by a ring of 20 heraldic shields of the Italian regions — one of the most intricate border designs ever placed on an Italian coin — signed Giampaoli at the base. The reverse displays Columbus's three caravels — the Niña, Pinta and Santa María — sailing on stylised waves beneath the inscription Repvbblica Italiana, with the denomination L.500, Rome mint mark R, and the designation PROVA — indicating this is modelled on a trial proof strike.
The 500 Lire Caravelle is one of the most artistically significant coins of post-war Italy, celebrated for its extraordinary Renaissance portrait obverse and its dramatic maritime reverse commemorating Columbus's 1492 voyage to the Americas. The PROVA designation marks this as a trial proof issue — produced in strictly limited numbers to test the dies before full production — making it one of the most sought-after variants in Italian numismatics. This 30mm replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait, regional shields, and caravel detail of the original Rome Mint strike. This piece is an Italian Republic historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
The 500 Lire Caravelle was first issued in 1958 and became one of the defining coins of the Italian Republic, remaining in production until the introduction of the Euro in 2002. The obverse portrait of Italia — designed by sculptor Giampaoli — draws on the rich tradition of Italian Renaissance medallic art, with the ring of 20 regional shields representing the unity of the Italian nation. The reverse depicts the three caravels of Christopher Columbus — the Genoese explorer whose 1492 voyage connected the Old and New Worlds — a fitting tribute on an Italian coin, as Columbus sailed under Spanish commission but was born in Genoa. The PROVA (trial) strikes of 1958 are particularly prized by collectors for their exceptional die sharpness and limited production numbers.

Swedish 1846 1 Riksdaler Specie Coin – King Oscar I Collectible
£14.99
This Swedish 1 Riksdaler Specie 1846 replica captures one of the finest coins of the Scandinavian silver tradition — struck under King Oscar I of Sweden and Norway. The obverse features an elegant right-facing bare-headed portrait of Oscar I with the inscription Oscar Sveriges Norr. Goth. Och Vend. Konung — "Oscar, King of Sweden, Norway, the Goths and the Wends" — encircling the design within a fine beaded border. The reverse displays the full Swedish Royal coat of arms — a crowned quartered shield bearing the Three Crowns of Sweden and the Lion of Folkung — supported by two rampant lions, with the royal motto Rätt Och Sanning — "Right and Truth" — above, and the denomination 1R 1846 Sp with Stockholm mint mark AG below.
The Riksdaler Specie was the premier silver coin of the Swedish kingdom throughout the 19th century — the Scandinavian equivalent of the German Thaler or British Crown. The 1846 issue under Oscar I is one of the most artistically accomplished of the entire Swedish Royal series, featuring a neoclassical portrait of exceptional quality and one of the most elaborate heraldic reverses in Scandinavian numismatics. This 38mm replica with 2.5mm thickness faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and coat of arms detail of the original Stockholm Mint strike. This piece is a Swedish Kingdom historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
King Oscar I (1799–1859) reigned as King of Sweden and Norway from 1844 to 1859, a period of significant political and cultural reform in Scandinavia. The son of the French Marshal Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte — founder of the current Swedish royal dynasty — Oscar I was known as a progressive monarch who introduced major legal and social reforms during his reign. The royal motto Rätt Och Sanning — "Right and Truth" — reflects his reformist character and remains one of the most memorable inscriptions in Swedish numismatic history. The Stockholm Mint, established in the 16th century, struck some of the finest silver coinage in northern Europe throughout the 19th century.

South African 1967 Krugerrand Coin – Paul Kruger Springbok Collectible
£14.99
This South African 1967 Krugerrand replica captures one of the most iconic and recognisable coins in the world — the legendary Krugerrand, first struck by the South African Mint in 1967. The obverse features the distinguished bearded portrait of Paul Kruger — President of the South African Republic — facing right, with the bilingual inscription Suid-Afrika · South Africa encircling the design within a fine reeded border. The reverse displays the iconic springbok antelope in full stride, with the inscription KRUGERRAND at the top, the date 19 67 split either side of the springbok, and Fyngoud 1oz Fine Gold at the base.
The Krugerrand was the world's first modern gold bullion coin, introduced in 1967 to help market South African gold on the international market. Its springbok design — the national animal of South Africa — and the portrait of Paul Kruger, the Boer statesman who led the South African Republic, make it one of the most culturally significant coin designs of the 20th century. This 40mm replica with 3mm thickness faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and springbok relief of the original South African Mint strike. This piece is a South African historical collectible coin designed for display and collection. It contains no gold.
About the Design
Paul Kruger (1825–1904) — known as Oom Paul — was the President of the South African Republic (Transvaal) from 1883 to 1900 and one of the most iconic figures in South African history. The Krugerrand was named in his honour, combining "Kruger" with "rand" — the South African unit of currency. The springbok on the reverse, designed by Coert Steynberg, has appeared on South African coinage since 1947 and remains one of the most beloved animal designs in world numismatics. The 1967 issue was the very first Krugerrand ever struck, making it the most historically significant date in the entire series.

Malaysian 1971 100 Ringgit Coin – Tunku Abdul Rahman Commemorative Collectible

The 1971 Malaysian 100 Ringgit commemorative is one of the most historically significant coins ever issued by Bank Negara Malaysia, struck to honour Tunku Abdul Rahman upon his retirement as Prime Minister — the man who led Malaya to independence from British rule in 1957 and guided the formation of Malaysia in 1963.

This piece is a Malaysian historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.

Dutch 1840 2½ Gulden Coin – King Willem II Netherlands Collectible
£14.99
This Dutch 2½ Gulden 1840 replica captures a classic piece of early Dutch Kingdom numismatic history struck under King Willem II of the Netherlands. The obverse features an elegant right-facing bare-headed portrait of Willem II with the inscription Willem Koning Der Ned. G.H.V.L. — "Willem, King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxembourg" — encircling the design within a fine beaded border, with the engraver's signature Borch Berg at the portrait truncation. The reverse displays the crowned Dutch Royal coat of arms — a rampant lion holding a sword and bundle of arrows on a quartered shield — with the denomination 2½ G, date 1840, and the inscription Der Nederlanden · Munt Van Het Koningryk — "Of the Netherlands · Mint of the Kingdom."
The 2½ Gulden was the premier silver coin of the Kingdom of the Netherlands throughout the 19th century — the Dutch equivalent of the British Crown or the German Thaler. The 1840 issue under Willem II represents one of the finest portrait coins of the Dutch Royal series, engraved by the celebrated medallist Borch Berg. This replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and heraldic detail of the original Utrecht Mint strike.

About the Design
Willem II (1792–1849) reigned as King of the Netherlands from 1840 to 1849, having previously distinguished himself as a military commander at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. His reign saw the introduction of a new liberal constitution in 1848 — one of the most significant political reforms in Dutch history. The 2½ Gulden coins of his reign are among the most artistically accomplished of the entire Dutch Royal series, featuring a neoclassical portrait style that reflects the refined taste of the early Victorian era. The rampant lion coat of arms on the reverse remains the central symbol of Dutch sovereignty to this day.

French 1973 20 Francs Hercules Coin – Dupré ESSAI Republic Collectible
£14.99
This French 20 Francs 1973 replica captures one of the most celebrated coin designs in French numismatic history — the iconic Hercules group by master engraver Augustin Dupré. The obverse features three allegorical figures
joined in unity: Hercules — representing the strength of the French Republic — stands at centre, flanked by Liberty (helmeted, left) and Equality (holding a set square, right), all clasping hands beneath the inscription Liberté Égalité Fraternité. The design is signed Dupré at the base and marked ESSAI — indicating this is modelled on a trial proof strike, adding significant collector distinction. The reverse displays 20 FRANCS within an elegant wreath of oak and olive branches, with the inscription République Française 1973 and a single star.
The Hercules design has appeared on French coinage since the Revolution of 1789 and remains one of the most enduring symbols of the French Republic. The 1973 20 Francs ESSAI issue is particularly prized by collectors as a proof-style trial strike — produced in limited numbers to test the dies before full production. This 39mm replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary sculptural relief of the original Paris Mint strike. This piece is a French Republic historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Augustin Dupré (1748–1833) was one of the greatest coin engravers in French history, appointed Engraver-General of French coins during the Revolution. His Hercules group design — first introduced in 1795 — became the defining image of Republican France, symbolising the unity of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity under the strength of the Republic. The design was revived for the 20 Francs series of the Fifth Republic in the 1960s and 1970s, with ESSAI (trial) strikes produced for collectors and numismatic archives. The Paris Mint — Monnaie de Paris — is one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the world, established in 864 AD.

Habsburg Tyrolean Thaler 1613 Coin – Archduke Maximilian III Collectible
£14.99
This Habsburg Tyrolean Thaler 1613 replica captures one of the most dramatic coins of the Holy Roman Empire — struck under Archduke Maximilian III of Austria, Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and ruler of Further Austria and Tyrol. The obverse features a commanding half-length armoured portrait of Maximilian III holding a sword, with the date 16·13 split either side and the Latin inscription Maximilian·DG·Archid·Aust·Dux·Burg — "Maximilian, by the Grace of God, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy" — encircling the design. The reverse displays the Habsburg and Tyrolean heraldic shields surrounding a second portrait, representing the full territorial authority of the Austrian archduke.
The Tyrolean Thaler of 1613 is one of the most visually powerful coins of the early 17th century — combining the martial imagery of the Teutonic Order knight tradition with the rich heraldic complexity of the Habsburg dynasty at the height of its power. This replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary armoured portrait and shield detail of the original Hall in Tirol Mint strike. This piece is a Habsburg Holy Roman Empire historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Archduke Maximilian III (1558–1618) was one of the most significant Habsburg military commanders of his era — a veteran of the Long Turkish War against the Ottoman Empire and Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1590 until his death. His coinage reflects both his military identity and his position as ruler of Tyrol and Further Austria. The 1613 Thaler was struck at the Hall in Tirol Mint — one of the most important minting centres of the Habsburg lands — and represents the peak of Renaissance portrait coinage in the Austrian tradition. The Thaler denomination, from which the word "dollar" ultimately derives, was the dominant large silver coin of the Holy Roman Empire throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.

Norwegian 1914 2 Kroner Centenary Coin – Constitutional Commemorative Collectible
£14.99
This Norwegian 2 Kroner 1914 replica commemorates one of the most significant milestones in Scandinavian history — the centenary of the Norwegian Constitution. The obverse features the Norwegian Royal coat of arms: a crowned lion rampant holding an axe on a heraldic shield, dramatically framed by a dense pine forest landscape, with the inscription 1814 · 2 KRONER · 1914 · NORGE marking the hundred years between Norway's constitutional founding and this commemorative issue. The reverse depicts Norge — Norway personified as a cloaked female allegorical figure — standing on rocky highland terrain gazing into the distance, with a small family group at her feet representing the Norwegian people.
The 1914 Norwegian 2 Kroner is one of the finest commemorative coins ever struck in Scandinavia, celebrated for its artistic reverse design which captures the spirit of Norwegian national identity and independence. This replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary landscape and allegorical detail of the original Kongsberg Mint strike. This piece is a Scandinavian historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Norway's Constitution of 17 May 1814 — Grunnloven — is one of the oldest written constitutions still in force in the world, and remains the foundation of Norwegian democracy. The centenary in 1914 was marked with national celebrations and the issue of this commemorative 2 Kroner coin, designed to capture both the heraldic tradition of the Norwegian crown and the romantic nationalist spirit of the era. The allegorical figure of Norge on the reverse draws on the 19th century tradition of personifying nations as noble female figures — a powerful symbol of Norwegian sovereignty and identity. The coin was struck at the Kongsberg Mint, Norway's historic royal mint established in 1686.

The Pillar Dollar is one of the most important coins in world monetary history — it was the first truly global currency, circulating from the Americas to China, and its Pillars of Hercules design is widely credited as the origin of the modern dollar sign ($). This 40mm replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary Columnario design of the original Mexico City mint strike. This piece is a Spanish colonial historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
The Columnario design was introduced in 1732 at the Mexico City mint under Philip V, replacing the earlier cob (macuquina) coinage with a perfectly round, mechanically struck coin of consistent weight and design. The twin globes and Pillars of Hercules symbolised the Spanish Empire's dominion over both hemispheres — Europe and the Americas — united under one crown. These coins circulated across the entire Atlantic and Pacific trading world and were accepted as currency in colonial America, the Caribbean, China, and India. The Pillar Dollar is the direct ancestor of the United States dollar and remains one of the most sought-after designs in world numismatics.
