How To Secure Your Titanic 100th Anniversary Coin
Of all the great ocean liners, one name stands alone and above all others – Titanic.
Exactly 100 years after this majestic ship hit an iceberg on her first ever voyage and sank with the loss of more than 1,500 lives, the epic saga of the RMS Titanic remains as poignant as ever.
Titanic’s story never ceases to captivate – whether it is the 1997 James Cameron movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet or Julian “Downton Abbey” Fellowes’ new four-part TV mini-series with Linus Roache and Geraldine Somerville.
Demand for all things Titanic has surged with the impending centenary of her fateful voyage in 1912 – not least in Southampton, Hampshire from where she set sail for the first and last time.
Coin specialists Westminster Collection report strong demand for their new Titanic 100th anniversary coins.
Westminster Collection is selling three different Titanic commemorative coins, all officially approved by Buckingham Palace and bearing the Queen’s official portrait on the reverse:
- a new gold-plated £5 coin (gold-plated in 24-carat gold to a proof-like finish), reduced in price from £39.99 – now just £9.99 (+p&p).
- a new limited issue solid silver £5 coin in proof finish, available exclusively from Westminster Collection. Just 1,912 have been struck – buy yours for only £80 (+p&p).
- a new solid sterling silver coin struck to the highest proof finish, available for one year only, containing a sliver of coal recovered from the wreck of the Titanic in the year 2000. Presented in a deluxe presentation case with certificate of authenticity – only £99 (+p&p).
But it is not just the Titanic 100th anniversary that is driving demand for commemorative coins from Westminster Collection – the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is proving to be even more popular.
Westminster is selling a large range of Diamond Jubilee commemorative coins.
They range from £9.99 (+p&p) commemorative photographic coins and a Diamond Jubilee UK £5 Coin Cover that features the official new Diamond Jubilee £5 pound coin from the Royal Mint, to the brilliant uncirculated gold Sovereign at £379 (+p&p).
Westminster is also commemorating the London 2012 games with an officially approved Olympic £5 pound coin.
