A collection like nothing you’ve ever seen…

As any collector knows, coins tell the story of our history. But sometimes, they only give a small insight. That’s why it’s been so important for us to find a collection that shows the whole picture. 

And today, we have something unlike anything ever offered to Westminster collectors.

A collection comprised not only of historic coins, but also a real bullet, a patriotic token and a 150-year-old newspaper…

It is the set that finally shows the whole picture – and that picture is of the American Civil War.

America, 1861

After decades of conflict between the modernised northern states and the rural southern states of America, Abraham Lincoln’s accession to presidency hoped to end the slavery which fuelled the divide.

This ironically instigated the opposite effect, as eleven American nations formed an opposing government: the Confederate States of America.

So in April 1861, both ‘Americas’ went to war. This ended in 1865 and became the costliest and bloodiest war ever fought on American soil.

And here’s how you can preserve its history…

The Ultimate American Civil War Commemorative Collection

After searching for a whole year, we have finally been able to source a collection of the most collectable artefacts from the American Civil War.

Celebrating 350 Years of Innovation and Exploration

In 1675, King Charles II commissioned the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, unknowingly setting in motion centuries of astronomical discovery, navigational breakthroughs and global timekeeping.

Greenwich is where East meets West, and home to the Prime Meridian – an invisible line that runs through the very ground. The Royal Observatory is where Greenwich Mean Time was born, and it’s been guiding explorers, scientists and seafarers ever since.

Now, 350 years on, this iconic institution has been honoured on a UK £2 coin.

A Design Packed with Symbolism

Created by renowned designer Henry Gray, the reverse design of the 2025 Royal Greenwich Observatory £2 is a treasure trove for collectors.

Here’s what you’ll spot:

  • The Shepherd Gate Clock – one of the world’s first public displays of Greenwich Mean Time.
  • Ursa Minor and Polaris – the constellation and star used for celestial navigation across centuries.
  • The Prime Meridian on a globe – marking the division between East and West.
  • And along the edge, the words: “PERFECTING THE ART OF NAVIGATION” – a phrase taken from the Observatory’s founding Royal Warrant.

Every detail speaks to the Observatory’s unmatched contribution to science, timekeeping, and navigation.
