Sell Outs
The Platinum Jubilee 50p BU Pair
Since its release in January, the Platinum Jubilee 50p has taken the coin collecting world by storm. But why?
Firstly, The Royal Mint released TWO versions of this special 50p: one with the Jody Clark obverse, and the other with a special commemorative obverse which sees the Queen on horseback – reminiscent of the 1953 Coronation Crown!
Plus, Queen Elizabeth II is the first British monarch to have reached a Platinum Jubilee – an incredible milestone that this generation of collectors will never see again!
And, not to mention, the version of the Platinum Jubilee 50p with Jody Clark’s portrait, even went into circulation.
These exciting factors all led to a Royal Mint sell-out of ALL key specifications of the Platinum Jubilee 50p – within JUST 24 hours!
But, one of the quickest sell-outs was the Platinum Jubilee 50p Pair, which includes both versions of the Platinum Jubilee 50p together in a Brilliant Uncirculated Pack.
Just 1,952 of these special pairs were issued by The Royal Mint, with a limited number reserved for Westminster Collection customers. But, The Royal Mint sold through theirs within just a few hours of issue!
Excitingly, this means that we have a remaining 973 Platinum Jubilee 50p Pair BU Packs available exclusively for collectors.
BUT, based on how quickly these sold at The Royal Mint, we’re expecting demand to completely outstrip our supply.

One-year-only Design Change Revealed
It’s the coin release that collectors wait all year for. The new UK 2022 Gold Sovereign has just been released.
And it’s safe to say the collecting world has not been disappointed.
For 2022, the Sovereign has been dedicated to the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The iconic St George and the Dragon has been replaced by a reverse design depicting the Royal Coat of Arms by Timothy Noad. It’s said to represent the Queen’s unwavering grace and dedication to her country.
There are just two other Sovereigns issued under Queen Elizabeth II that do not have a depiction of St George and the Dragon (issued in 1989 and 2002). And that makes the 2022 Sovereign an incredibly rare and unique piece.
Importantly for collectors, the edition limit of the 2022 Sovereign is just 10,500 – that matches that of the UK 2017 Bicentenary Sovereign (the last time we saw a design change) which sold out in record time.
Given the importance of next year for Her Majesty, and the fact that this design change is so rare, there’s expected to be a serious collector demand.

TROTTERS INDEPENDENT TRADING CO. SPECIAL – Brand new Only Fools and Horses Commemoratives released
On the 8th September 1981 over 9 million people sat down at their televisions to watch a brand new show called ‘Only Fools and Horses’. Little did we know that this show would one day become one of the top British television programmes of all-time.
Over a total of 10 years, 7 series, 64 episodes and 16 Christmas specials we followed the trials and tribulations of ambitious market trader Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter (played by David Jason) and his idealistic younger brother Rodney Trotter (played by Nicholas Lyndhurst) in their attempts to get rich! Supported by a cast of colourful characters including Grandad, Trigger, Boycie and Uncle Albert.
This time next year we’ll be millionaires…
No other TV show has influenced British culture as much. Critically and popularly acclaimed, the series received numerous awards. It was voted Britain’s Best Sitcom in 2004 and in a BBC poll Del Boy was ranked fourth on their list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters.
Its success spawned a successful spin-off series, ‘The Green Green Grass,’ a Sport Relief special episode guest starring David Beckham, and even a musical adaptation of the show was created which launched at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End!
The final episode in which the Trotters finally became millionaires was watched by 24.3 million viewers and holds the record for the highest UK audience for a sitcom episode.
So to celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of Britain’s greatest TV shows a number of brand new officially licensed Only Fools and Horses Commemoratives have been released… ‘lovely jubbly’!
