New Issues
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…

Marking 125 Years: A Tribute to the Queen Mother’s Legacy
On 4th August 2025, we mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, a royal figure revered not only for her public role, but for the profound and lasting impact she had on the British people and the wider Commonwealth. In recognition of this historic milestone, a special range of limited edition £5 commemorative coins has been released — a dignified tribute to her enduring legacy.

Born Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1900, she married the future King George VI and stood resolutely beside him as Queen Consort following the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936. In this unexpected role, she became a source of steadfast support during the Second World War, choosing to remain in London during the Blitz and famously declaring that she would not leave the King’s side, even as Buckingham Palace itself came under attack. Her courage, grace, and calm assurance earned her widespread admiration and the enduring affection of the nation.
Did you know? During a royal tour of bombed-out parts of London in 1940, the Queen Mother’s presence was so moving that one survivor recalled: “She came into my ruined home, and suddenly everything felt bearable.” It was this deep connection with the public that defined her reign as Queen Consort — and endured for the rest of her life.
Following the death of King George VI in 1952, she became known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, continuing to serve the monarchy and the public with devotion for another five decades. Her warmth and humour, as well as her unrelenting commitment to duty, made her one of the most respected and beloved members of the Royal Family. Her passing in 2002, at the age of 101, was mourned deeply across the globe.
To commemorate this significant milestone, a special range of £5 coins has been issued, celebrating the Queen Mother’s extraordinary life and legacy. Struck to the highest standards — including editions in Proof and Sterling Silver and Gold — these coins serve as a dignified tribute to a woman whose enduring influence still resonates today. Each piece has been thoughtfully presented, many accompanied by certificates of authenticity and limited edition status, offering collectors and admirers a meaningful way to honour her memory.
A Design Steeped in Royal Symbolism
The reverse shows a graceful new portrait of the Queen Mother, inspired by Richard Stone’s famous painting. She wears the Greville Tiara and Queen Alexandra’s Wedding Necklace, framed by a floral wreath for the four UK nations. Her royal monogram below completes this personal tribute.
The collection is now available online for a limited time.

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.
