Hard to Find - Capital Cities of The United Kingdom - London Silver and Gold Proof Coins

In 2010 The Royal Mint launched a new series of Gold and Silver proof One Pound coins to commemorate the Capital Cities of the United Kingdom. The series has been designed with a contemporary twist by international coin designer Scott Devlin, who is a Goldsmith and Jeweller to the Queen herself. This is the first time he has designed for the UK.

The reverse of the London coin depicts The Coat of Arms which belongs to the Corporation of the City of London. The "Square Mile" presided over by the Lord Mayor of London.

This rendition of United Kingdom Capital Cities of the UK - London Silver is Proof quality .925 Pure Silver fineness with a very low mintage quantity of 5,000.

The emblem of the London coin features a Red Cross and upright sword in the top left quarter, which combines the symbol of the City's patron saint, St. Paul, with that of England's, The Red Cross of St. George. The edge of the London coin is inscribed with the motto of the arms "DOMINE DIRIGE NOS", translated to 'Lord, direct us.'

The obverse design is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II done by Ian Rank-Bradley.

This rendition of United Kingdom Capital Cities of the UK - London Gold is Proof quality .9167 Pure Gold fineness with an even lower mintage quantity of 2,500.




Steve Devlin has achieved brilliance in his design which symbolizes both the sense of regional individuality and contemporary British unity that UK capital cities champion.

The Capital Cities of the United Kingdom series, commemorates Wales, Northern Ireland's, Scotland's and England's capital cities. Each of Devlin's coins portrays the coat of arms of all four capital cities, with the heraldic emblem of one city highlighted per each different coin.

With a limited mintage quantities of 2,500 for the gold and 5,000 for the silver along with large worldwide appeal of these fabolous coins, www.Coinmerc.com is proud to offer a few of these prestigous coins.

New Silver Coin from The Perth Mint features High relief Dragon Design

Today marks the launch of a new high relief silver proof coin celebrating the Year of the Dragon. As well as the showing the finished coin, this short video is for collectors interested in the master tooling and production dies made by The Perth Mint for this special release.

You’ll see two steel billets (the master tooling), which are used to manufacture the production dies. The dies are engraved with ‘negatives’ of the obverse and reverse designs, from which ‘positive’ images are transferred to the blanks during minting. In this case, the dies are slightly more convex than usual, allowing us to increase the design depth for the best high relief result. Although the finsihed coin has a smaller diameter than our standard-sized 1oz proof release, it has extra thickness – as the video demonstrates.
