Coins
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.

The World’s First Thunderbirds 50p Coins
“5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Thunderbirds 50ps are GO!”
It’s been six decades since those unforgettable words rocketed onto British television screens, launching one of the most beloved sci-fi series in history. Now, for the first time ever, all five Thunderbirds have landed — not on Tracy Island, but on a set of official 50p coins.
And collectors, it’s a moment you won’t want to miss.
Celebrating 60 Years of Thunderbirds on Official 50p Coins
To mark the 60th anniversary of Thunderbirds, a stunning series of British Isles 50p coins has been released — and it’s truly something special.
Each coin showcases one of the iconic Thunderbird machines — from the sleek, supersonic Thunderbird 1, to the orbital sentinel Thunderbird 5 — all beautifully struck with full-colour designs that pop with detail and personality.
For fans, this is more than a coin release. It’s a celebration of a British sci-fi legacy that pushed the boundaries of imagination, engineering, and storytelling.
What’s on the Coins? Meet the Thunderbirds
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these coins so special:

🔵 Thunderbird 1
The hypersonic rocket plane that’s always first to the scene. Piloted by the ever-capable Scott Tracy, it’s the face of rapid response — and the first line of International Rescue.
🟢 Thunderbird 2
That unmistakable green VTOL craft piloted by Virgil Tracy. Known for transporting heavy rescue gear (and Thunderbird 4, of course), its design was as practical as it was unforgettable.


🔴 Thunderbird 3
The bold red space rocket, operated by Alan Tracy. Its missions in orbit — and beyond — kept the Earth safe from peril in the most extreme situations.
🟡 Thunderbird 4
A fan-favourite! This compact yellow submersible, piloted by Gordon Tracy, handled the dangers of the deep. It’s sleek, agile, and always ready for underwater action.


⚪ Thunderbird 5
Orbiting Earth high above, this communications hub — maintained by John Tracy — was the eyes and ears of the entire operation. No rescue mission could start without it.
Spotlight on the Artist: Lee Sullivan
Bringing the Thunderbirds 50p coins to life is none other than acclaimed comic book artist Lee Sullivan, whose illustrations grace both the coin designs and the accompanying presentation booklets in this special anniversary collection.
Lee made his mark working on iconic titles such as Doctor Who, Transformers, RoboCop, 2000AD, Fireball XL5, and of course — Thunderbirds.

A lifelong fan of the series, Lee began working on Thunderbirds strips for Redan Publishing in the 1990s. What he thought would be a short stint turned into a five-year creative journey, during which he produced nearly all of the originated strips for the title — handling pencilling, inking, and eventually full-colour digital artwork. He also created Thunderbirds illustrations for Redan’s Fun to Learn activity magazines.
His deep connection to the series, combined with decades of illustrative expertise, makes Lee’s contribution to this coin range something truly special. Each coin and booklet is infused with his passion for the franchise — ensuring this collection isn’t just official, but authentic to the spirit of Thunderbirds.

The £2 Coins Celebrating the UK’s Quirkiest Traditions
From hilltop chaos to apron-clad pancake dashes, Britain has a proud history of gloriously eccentric customs — and in 2025, they’re finally getting the celebration they deserve. This year, a brand-new series of £2 coins shines a light on five of the most delightfully bizarre and brilliantly British traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a newcomer with a love for all things offbeat, this limited-edition coin release is your perfect slice of homegrown heritage.

A Tribute to Britain’s Quirky Heart
It’s no secret that Britain loves a good tradition — the weirder, the better. And now, this latest coin release captures that spirit in Sterling Silver and Brilliant Uncirculated brilliance. Introducing the British Traditions £2 Coin Collection: five intricately designed coins that pay homage to the eccentric events that make our national calendar so colourfully unique.
So, what’s in the £2 set?
Whether you’re collecting the gleaming Sterling Silver Proof edition, or the crisply detailed Brilliant Uncirculated version, both sets feature the same five wonderfully weird events:

🧀 Cheese Rolling (Gloucestershire)
Every year, brave (or mad?) participants fling themselves down the steep slopes of Cooper’s Hill chasing a runaway wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. The result? Tumbling chaos, bruised egos, and a tradition that could only be British.
🎀 Maypole Dancing
A throwback to our medieval roots, Maypole Dancing sees children and adults alike weaving coloured ribbons to the rhythm of folk music — a celebration of spring, community, and timeless tradition.


🔔 Morris Dancing
Jingling bells, clashing sticks, and vividly decorated costumes define this quintessential folk dance. Whether in village greens or market squares, Morris dancers embody the beating heart of traditional British celebration.
🍳 Pancake Racing (Olney)
Dating back to 1445, this tradition has apron-wearing competitors sprinting through the streets flipping pancakes mid-run. Why? Because Britain loves to turn the ordinary into the utterly extraordinary.


🎆 Bonfire Night
Guy Fawkes, fireworks, and fire-lit effigies: every 5th of November, Britain honours the failed Gunpowder Plot with a sparkling night of rebellion, remembrance, and roasted marshmallows.
Two Stunning Editions — But Only While Stocks Last
This unique collection comes in two finishes, both with their own appeal:


- 🥇 Sterling Silver Proof Set — Crafted in fine silver, each coin is selectively plated in 24-carat gold. With only 495 sets available worldwide, this is an elite, heirloom-quality tribute to Britain’s cultural curiosities.
- 🪙 Brilliant Uncirculated Set — Sharply struck with a pristine finish, this edition is limited to just 2,025 sets worldwide, offering a more accessible yet highly collectable way to enjoy these iconic designs.
Wonderfully Weird. Irresistibly British. Unmistakably Collectable.
At a time when British identity is being rediscovered and redefined, these coins offer a joyful reminder of what makes us unique. From folk festivals to fearless food-based sports, every coin in this set is a tiny masterpiece of nostalgia and national pride.
Whether you’re collecting for the artistry, the history, or simply for the love of the ludicrous, the Quirky British Traditions £2 Coin Collection is not to be missed.

Discover the full set and secure yours before they disappear faster than a pancake on Shrove Tuesday.
