The 19th Century is often described as a ‘golden age’ of coin design, and one of its greatest contributors is William Wyon.
As a young Assistant Engraver he entered the competition to design the new coins for the Great Recoinage of 1816 in an effort to further his career. His submission, The Three Graces, elegantly captured renewed interest in Ancient Greece to tell the story of the recent 1801 Act of Union and the creation of the United Kingdom.
While it didn’t win the competition, a small number of test ‘Pattern Pieces’ were produced which became sought-after as his reputation grew. His ‘Young Head’ portrait of Queen Victoria graced the coins of her reign for nearly 50 years, while his ‘Una and The Lion’ is now recognised as one of history’s most beautiful coin designs.
He was a master of his art, and The Three Graces his neoclassic masterpiece. We are proud to make it available to collectors once again as this two-ounce Silver Proof £2 coin, presented in a display case with accompanying booklet and certificate of authenticity.

British Columbia's floral emblem isn't so much a flower, but a flowering tree– a unique trait that sets the Pacific dogwood apart from our other provincial and territorial blooms. The showy white flowers on our sixth Floral Emblems of Canada coin appear each spring, and occasionally in September too. The tree itself, Cornus nuttallii, is a four-season beauty that can grow as high as 18 metres. And while the flowering dogwood was a popular image in British Columbia prior to 1956, the Floral Emblem Act assured its position as the official symbol of Canada's westernmost province

The silver coin of the Czech Mint from the gift series with the motifs of the 12 signs of the zodiac will become not only beautiful, but also a valuable talisman for anyone born under the sign of Sagittarius.
Old star charts attribute the constellation Sagittarius to the form of a mythical centaur, half man and half horse, armed with a bow and arrow. Some see him as Cheiron, others as Fola - wise figures from ancient mythology and friends of the demigod Heracles. According to the teachings of astrologers, people born under the sign of Sagittarius tend to be optimistic or even idealistic. They are also confident adventurers who are always looking for new challenges. They are full of enthusiasm and so can sometimes appear arrogant or reckless. Another characteristic is their sincerity, which is sometimes so strong that it unwittingly hurts...
The unusual oval-shaped coin bears a coloured depiction of Sagittarius on the reverse side. No photographs or computer graphics were used as the basis for the colouring - the author of the coin, Asamat Baltaev, DiS., created an original watercolour painting. The relief in the background behind Sagittarius presents a disc with a dozen zodiac signs. The composition of the reverse is supplemented with the Latin inscription SAGITTARIUS and the corresponding astrological symbol. As the coins of the Czech Mint are issued with the foreign licence of the island of Niue, the obverse side bears its national emblem, the nominal value of ONE DOLLAR (NZD) and the year of issue 2021. All this is surrounded by twelve astrological signs.
The coin is placed in an elegant box.
