August has been an exciting month for coin enthusiasts and collectors alike. With a wave of stunning new releases, there’s something for every collector to cherish. Whether captivated by history, enchanted by childhood classics, or fascinated by regal traditions, these new collectables will surely spark joy and become the crown jewels of your collection.
Celebrating Sir Winston Churchill’s 150th Anniversary
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of one of Britain’s most iconic figures, Sir Winston Churchill. Buckingham Palace has authorised a special £5 coin range to commemorate this milestone. And it’s nothing short of spectacular.
The Winston Churchill 150th Anniversary Silver Proof £5 Set is a true masterpiece, recommended by CPM Prestige. This set brings together three newly minted coins. Each one represents a different issuing authority—Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man. Limited to just 750 sets, these coins are struck in sterling silver with a collector’s favourite proof finish.
Adding to the grandeur, Guernsey has issued a stunning Silver Proof 5oz Coin. Featuring Churchill in front of 10 Downing Street, only 495 coins are available. That makes this is a must-have for any serious collector.
And for those who want to own a piece of history, the Historic Coin Set is a perfect choice. It pairs the brand-new Churchill Silver £5 Coin with a complete collection of circulating coins from 1965. And they’re all housed in a luxurious wooden presentation box. Limited to just 150 worldwide, that makes it an exceptional addition to any collection.
The Perth Sovereign 125th Anniversary: A Golden Celebration
The Perth Mint has outdone itself with the release of the 2024 Australia Sovereign Gold Proof Coin. To celebrate its 125th anniversary, this coin is a collector’s dream. Featuring a striking new artistic portrayal of St. George and the Dragon, this coin includes a special one-year-only privy mark.
Two key products have been released: the 2024 Australia Quarter Gold Proof Sovereign and the 22 Carat Gold Proof Sovereign. Both coins are struck to the same specifications as the UK Gold Proof Sovereign but come with a design that’s uniquely Australian. And much lower edition limits. Featuring the first-ever appearance of King Charles III, these coins are poised to be among the most coveted releases of the year.
The Gruffalo’s Child Silver Proof 50p: A Childhood Classic Reimagined
The latest release from The Royal Mint will thrill fans of ‘The Gruffalo.’ The UK 2024 The Gruffalo’s Child Silver Proof 50p is the latest addition to the series, following the phenomenal success of the 2019 Gruffalo 50p, which sold out within hours.
This new coin has already made headlines, with eagle-eyed collectors spotting an error on the coin on launch day, leading to a sell-out of the initial stock. Now, a first-come, first-served waiting list is open for the second, very limited allocation. This coin, beloved by readers of all ages, is a delightful nod to one of the most cherished children’s books of the twenty-first century.
Honouring 200 Years of The Royal Mews
Steeped in British tradition, the Royal Mews has been the heart of the Royal Family’s transport for 200 years. King Charles III has authorised a new limited edition coin range to mark this historic occasion, featuring two exquisite masterpiece products.
The Royal Mews Masterpiece Silver 5oz Coin. Designed by Neil Bromley, the coin features the wheel of the iconic Gold State Coach, surrounded by Tritons symbolising Britain’s naval power, with floral motifs representing the United Kingdom. This coin, crafted with 99.9% pure silver with 24ct gold plating, weighs a substantial 155.53g and is limited to just 495 worldwide.
For those seeking the ultimate in luxury, the Royal Mews Masterpiece Gold Proof £5 is a breathtaking addition. This pure gold coin, also designed by Bromley, mirrors the intricate details of its silver counterpart, celebrating the Royal Mews’ 200-year legacy.
August has truly been a month of treasures for collectors. Whether you’re a fan of historical figures, classic literature, or regal traditions, these new releases offer something for everyone. Their exquisite designs, limited editions, and deep-rooted significance make these coins and collectables more than just additions to a collection—they’re pieces of history collectors will cherish for generations. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own these remarkable pieces!
