News from Petercoins Link partners

2012

Hi and welcome to my new coin Link partners page. Here you will find New issues from the Royal mint and other coin related products that have been chosen to be of interest to coin collectors.

2012 is the perfect year to start a coin collection.
Coins issued in this year will be uniquely important in years to come, as this is a year like no other for Great Britain. The twin occasions of the Diamond Jubilee and London hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games provide opportunities to commemorate and celebrate the best of what Britain has to offer.

Savvy collectors will already have noticed that with such obvious collecting opportunities being at the fore, other premium commemoratives have additional appeal. The Dickens and Titanic coins are released this year, and may well prove to be the pride of many a future collection.

So begin a coin collection, or introduce someone you love to the hobby in 2012.

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee collection will be treasured as the definitive celebration of Her Majesty's 60-year reign.

In 2012 the nation will rejoice as The Queen becomes only the second monarch in British history to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee. The Royal Mint is therefore proud to issue an historic coin collection that celebrates the Diamond Jubilee with coins that chart the events, ceremonies and landmarks from The Queen's 60-year reign that are important to her personally.

 The official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic coins.

The first Olympic coins can be traced back to 480BC, introduced as souvenirs by the ancient Greeks. Today, the Royal Mint is continuing the tradition as the official supplier of commemorative coins to London 2012. From millions of sporting 50ps currently in circulation, to valuable and highly artistic gold coins inspired by classical mythology, the Royal Mint is marking the Games with a range of coins that appeal to everyone, from children collecting their first Olympic souvenirs, to specialist collectors seeking rarity and beauty.

The Royal Mint was established over 1,000 years ago and has a long and distinguished history of commemorating important national events. With the Olympic and Paralympic Games and Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee both taking place this year, the eyes of the world will be on London and the UK.

2011 50th Anniversary of the WWF  50p coin. UNC
 Item code: PC1591  price £3.50

The Royal Mint is proud to mark the 50th Anniversary of the WWF with a specially designed commemorative 50p coin featuring 50 carefully selected icons representing the vital work they do. Show your support with this special commemorative pack.

In 1961, a group of eminent wildlife experts joined forces to tackle environmental problems across the world. This group included Sir Julian Huxley, the renowned biologist, Sir Peter Scott, naturalist and painter, with HRH Prince Philip as the first President. In the 50 years since WWF has gone from strength to strength.

The WWF panda logo is recognised worldwide as a symbol of conservation and sustainable development, but how much do you know about them? Here's your chance to find out more!

Designer Matthew Dent describes the inspiration behind his design 'My idea was to design a selection of stylised icons to represent the various facets of the WWF – shapes that would complement the WWF logo, but shapes that would be recognisable at a very small size, and it seemed appropriate that there should be 50 of these icons in total. If you peer closely, you’ll see that the design features mammals, birds, fish, insects and lizards, fruit, seeds, trees and plants, and icons representing the human impact; farming, transport, renewable energy sources and the home.'
