Westminster Collection - UK and US Money of the World Set

This set features two of the most popular countries to collect coins from. In fact both our very own Royal Mint and also the US Mint have hundreds of years of history of producing the very best quality coins and also a track record of innovation in designs and coin programmes, which make collectors the world over so drawn to the coins of these historic nations.

As you are no doubt already aware, 2008 has witnessed the greatest change to the coinage of the United Kingdom for four decades. This year has seen the unveiling of a complete set of new coin designs for the definitive issues of the nation from the £1 coin to the humble penny. Replacing much cherished and recognised designs, the new series takes its theme from the Royal Shield of Arms - with this featuring on the £1 in its entirety, whilst the 50p to the penny focuses on specific details of the Shield of Arms.

Alongside the new UK coins you can also own six United States coins ranging from the George Washington Presidential dollar down to the 1 cent. As well as the first Presidential dollar, you will also get to own a quarter from the innovative State Quarter collection - a collection that completely reinvigorated coin collecting in the United States - and also a nickel from the Westward Journey Nickel Series.

Both coin sets are encapsulated for protection and come complete with informative certificates of authenticity.
