Commemorating Courage: The Battle of Britain Coin Range
In the summer of 1940, the skies above Britain became the front line of one of the most defining moments in modern history—the Battle of Britain. As Nazi Germany launched its relentless aerial assault, it was a group of young Royal Air Force pilots, many barely out of their teens, who stood as Britain’s last line of defence.
Against impossible odds, these brave men—later immortalised by Winston Churchill as “The Few”—repelled the Luftwaffe and changed the course of the Second World War. Their courage, determination, and sacrifice remain a source of national pride and international admiration to this day.
85 Years Later: Honouring a Nation’s Finest Hour
This year marks the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. To commemorate this momentous occasion, a new range of limited edition coins has been released, celebrating both the heroism of the RAF and the historical legacy of the battle itself.
More than just currency, these coins are miniature works of art—crafted with exceptional detail, officially licensed by the RAF, and struck to the highest collector standards.
Here are three standout releases in the new commemorative range:

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.
Celebrate the 20th Wedding Anniversary of King Charles III and Queen Camilla
On 9th April 2025, we celebrate a significant milestone in the history of the British Royal Family — the 20th Wedding Anniversary of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Their enduring partnership, which began officially in 2005, has become a cornerstone of the modern monarchy. To honour this landmark occasion, a specially curated collection of commemorative coins and covers has been released, showcasing royal elegance and craftsmanship.
A Royal Wedding with a Twist of History… resulting in an error.
Originally scheduled for 8th April 2005, the royal wedding was unexpectedly postponed due to Prince Charles attending the funeral of Pope John Paul II. The ceremony ultimately took place on 9th April, but by then the Royal Mail had already issued a Miniature Stamp Sheet marked with the original wedding date. This rare philatelic detail is now a part of the anniversary collection — a historical quirk that adds both charm and collector’s value to the commemorative items.
The Design: Elegance and Tribute
At the heart of the collection is a beautiful coin design featuring a dual effigy of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. It is detailed with the original wedding date, the anniversary year, denomination, and the inscription “20th Wedding Anniversary.” This harmonious design captures both their regal stature and the sentiment of the occasion.
