I have added a number of coins to my collection over the past couple of months and the first two below are somewhat apt following what TheAngryPixie has posted about on the previous page:
These are the first two of three coloured 50p coins being issued in 2024 by the Royal Mint in conjunction with the Natural History Museum in the
"Dinosaurs - Iconic Specimens" collection.
The next two images are the Reverse and Obverse of a £2 one-ounce silver bullion coin that has been issued by the Royal Mint in 2024 and is the first to depict both the UK's Britannia and the USA's Liberty on the same coin.
The next two images are of the Reverse and Obverse of the 2024 UK Proof set of coins. As well as the standard circulating coins in the three centre columns, there are several commemorative coins. A 50p coin in recognition of Team GB and Paralympics GB in the forthcoming 2024 Olympics; A 50p coin commemorating 200 years of the RNLI; A £2 coin commemorating 150 years since the birth of Winston Churchill; A £2 coin commemorating 200 years of The National Gallery; A £5 coin commemorating Buckingham Palace. At the top right is the Royal Mint Medal.
The next two images are of a USA Half Dollar coin that was issued in 1964 commemorating President John F Kennedy following his assasination on November 22nd 1963. This 1964 coin was struck in 90% silver and 10% copper. However, subsequent year's strikings contained lesser amounts of silver and for those from 1971 onwards, silver was eliminated altogether.
This is a Royal Mail stamps First day cover commemorating 'Viking Britain' that was issued on 20th Februry 2024.
