The Masterpiece Poppy Coin – a great feat of minting techniques and craftsmanship
Truth be told, there are so many incredible features on this year’s Masterpiece Poppy Coin that I genuinely don’t know where to begin.
First up you have the Mother of Pearl Poppy that sits proudly atop the coin. Nacre, to give Mother of Pearl its proper name, makes up the outer coating of Pearls – one of the most sought-after gemstones on the planet. And due to its nature, means that each Poppy crafted from it is completely unique.
The coin itself has been struck from 5oz of fine silver and finished to a Proof Finish; the finish that true collectors value. Multiple smaller copies have also been engraved onto its huge 65mm surface, resulting in an exceptional 3-dimensional effect.
The 2019 Masterpiece Poppy Coin is the pinnacle of craftsmanship and unsurprisingly one of the most demanded in the world of Numismatics. It really has to be seen to be believed. But with a large majority of the 300 worldwide edition limit now reserved, you’ll need to be quick if you’d like to secure one for your collection. Find out more by clicking this link >>

ONLY 250 collectors can own this exclusive Remembrance Silver £2 Coin Cover
If you’re looking for an extremely limited way to own the FIRST EVER Remembrance Silver £2 Coin, then this is it. In fact, this could be the most poignant cover issued this year.
Sat at the heart of the cover is the world’s first Remembrance Silver Proof £2 Coin. Of the 2,500 that have been issued for worldwide distribution, only 250 have been allocated for use in this exclusive cover. A significantly low amount given the magnitude of the occasion.
This is perfectly paired alongside the Official Royal Mail ‘Lest We Forget’ Poppy Stamps that will be postmarked on Remembrance Day – 11th November 2019. This both captures a moment in time and further cements the strict 250 worldwide edition limit.
The cover has just been announced for release and early signs suggest a sell-out is on the cards. Click here to secure yours before it’s too late >>
Strictly limited Gold-Plated £5 Coin marks 100 years of Remembrance
To mark 100 years of Remembrance and pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, this strictly limited Gold-Plated Proof £5 coin has been issued.
What makes this coin so special is the one-year-only design. Adorned around the edge of the coin is a wreath of Poppies that have been expertly coloured in red ink, the detail is incredible. These encircle the poignant words, ‘WE WILL REMEMBER THEM’, that has been engraved at the centre of the coin.
Only 4,950 of these fantastic coins have been issued for worldwide distribution. If you’d like to add one to your collection for JUST £25 (+p&p) you can do so by clicking here >>

Here’s a few words from Charles Bryne, Director General of The Royal, about raising over £1 million through the sales of Remembrance and Poppy Coins…
“As Director General of The Royal British Legion, I would like to thank those that have supported the charity by purchasing one of our partnership products over the years. I am very proud that together, we have achieved the amazing milestone of raising over £1 Million for The Royal British Legion.
This is a great achievement, which will allow us to continue to help those who need us the most. Partners like The Westminster Collection enable us to support our beneficiaries, providing lifelong support to the Armed Forces community, serving men and women, veterans, and their families when they need it most.
This Remembrance period, we will ask the nation to commemorate the service and sacrifice that many friends, allies, and Commonwealth nations made alongside Britain in defence of its freedoms, values, and way of life.
Our partnership coins and commemoratives are a reminder to us to take that time to remember and reflect, and this is why our partnership with The Westminster Collection is so very special to us.
Please accept my thanks for all of the support that you have shown the Legion in enabling us to reach this milestone, and most importantly help us to support the Armed Forces Community.”
