Elizabeth and Victoria Crown NEW Only two monarchs in British history have ever celebrated a Diamond Jubilee – Queen Victoria and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This year, 2013, marks the anniversary of both Coronations, the 175th Anniversary for Queen Victoria’s Coronation and the 60th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation. To commemorate both these amazing achievements, the Isle of Man has approved the release of a superb new coin which carries a double portrait of Queen Victoria and her great, great grand-daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. In addition, the obverse of the coin features a unique double effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The first effigy is an up-to-date image of Her Majesty, while the second is based on a portrait that first appeared on coins at the start of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Elizabeth and Victoria Crown in a box AG69 £12.95 Siberian Cat Crown NEW Having celebrated its 25th Anniversary last year, the Isle of Man Cat series of coins continues this year with the issue of another superb cupro-nickel crown, this time featuring the Siberian Cat. The Siberian Cat has been present in Russia for centuries and is an ancient cat breed that is now said to be the ancestor of all modern long-haired cats. It is a natural breed of Siberia and the national cat of Russia. Siberian Cat Crown in a box AG70 £12.95 St Patrick & The Snake Crown NEW The Isle of Man does not have a patron saint, but if we were to adopt one, St Patrick would be a strong contender, even if we had to share him with Ireland, as he is credited with bringing Christianity to our shores. The image on the coin shows St Patrick casting out serpents during his time on the Isle of Man with the obverse carrying the traditional fine effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, Lord of Man by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS. This fine Cupro Nickel coin comes in a hard-shelled collectors box. St Patrick & The Snake Crown in a box AG66 £12.95

The Kermode Bear Crown and Gift Pack NEW The population of the Kermode Bear is estimated at 400 to 1,000 individuals and it is thought they have survived due to the fact that they were known as ‘Spirit Bears’ and therefore the First Nations never hunted or mentioned them to fur trappers. The design on the coin features an adult Kermode Bear sitting near water with her two playful cubs. The coin is Cupro Nickel and ships in a plush hard-shelled collectors box. This stunning coin is also available with a delightfully cute plush white bear to enhance the beauty of these magnificent animals.
