After our recent Pobjoy Mint week in which we covered six new releases from the privately owned British mint over six consecutive days, we thought they'd be quiet for a while. Apparently that isn't the case, and they've just launched details of another new silver coin, this one issued for the British Virgin Islands. Like the recent Abaham Lincoln [...]
The last of the six new releases from the Pobjoy Mint to be covered in our week long series, we're heading back to the South Atlantic island group of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. There's more about the islands in our earlier post, but this coin marks the 30th anniversary of the islands receiving their Coat of [...]
The penultimate day in our British Pobjoy Mint catchup week features the only two-coin set to be covered and it's one that joins the growing commemorations for one of historys most important, and well knowns battles, Waterloo. There have been some fine coins already released from the Royal Mint, including a spectacular Pistrucci-designed medallion, and the Pobjoy Mint debuted [...]
It's the fourth day of our Pobjoy Mint catchup and this time it's the little known but highly worthy commemoration of the first landing on a tiny British Dependancy in the South Atlantic. Found by Captain James Cook, an absolute legend in the history of exploration, South Georgia remains one of the most remote locations that were ever part [...]
Pobjoy week ploughs on with a fifty pence coin issued for the Isle of Man in the usual seven-sided format common to this coin size. This one celebrates the bike racing icons that have contributed to the legendary status of one of the worlds toughest and most dangerous races, the Isle of Man TT. First being run in 1907, [...]
Our catchup of recent British Pobjoy Mint issues continues with a coin celebrating the current British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, becoming the longest reigning sovereign in British history. With her full title being "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, [...]
We've dropped a little behind with the issues of some mints which we'll aim to rectify in the coming weeks and we're going to start that process today. In this case, it's the British Pobjoy Mint, who've seen quite a few new issues over the last four weeks or so. Based in Surrey in England, they're Europes largest privately [...]
The Pobjoy Mint seem to be on a bit of a roll with their new releases lately, and this latest one commemorates one of the most important battles of the 20th century, the Battle of Britain. At a time when only Britain stood against the Nazi threat, the bravery and determination of the Royal Air Force and its pilots, [...]
British based Pobjoy Mint have announced their latest coin and despite dabbling with childrens character Paddington Bear a short while ago, they've gone back to a popular theme for them, history. Recent coins have featured the Sphinx and Sir Winston Churchill, and this latest issue lies inbetween those with the nineteenth century egomaniacal [...]
It has been half a century since one of Britain's greatest leaders died, and Sir Winston Churchill has adorned several coins this year in commemoration. The Royal Mint have released three tranches of them, one a portrait, one a £20 for £20, and one a range of big gold and silver coins. Now the Pobjoy Mint has released a [...]
