And the second which might appeal to those who like me love sailing ships on coins :hail:

Hope that you all enjoy sharing them

 

I really like that second one, the chain link border lends a great deal to the theme.

 

I agree it is the better of the two & the chain realy does set it off well :smile

 

Those are very nice. Steve, isn't your "Blue Titanium 5?" from Gibralter also???

Ben

 

Yep I also have a Millenium Titanium from Gib

 

I do like the 2nd one more also, curious on any pics of the titanium one gonna maybe randomly pop up in this thread nay time soon??? hmm

 

Very - Very nice

Is that a sub I see along side that sailing ship? Anonther coin I need to add to the list ..


Thanks for sharing

 

Yep it is a very early sub, not sure which one though and to be honest I thought the 1st British sub was comissioned in 1901?
Here is the Blue Titanium :smile I have posted it previously so apologies to those who have allready seen it.

 

And just for the heck of it here is the Millenium Titanium :smile

 

wowzers thats a new one on my list now. jeeze de orc

 

Cool coins. I'd never seen a titanium coin before. Thanks for sharing.

 

Some really beautiful coins! Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thanks guy's appreciated as for the Titanium coins I also have the following coins

Virgin Islands (British)

$5
2004 Titanium 2p Red British Guiana (Worlds Rarest Stamp)
2005 Titanium 4p Green Inverted Swan (Western Australia)


Unfortunatly have not come across any new ones since I got the Millenium one a year or so back

 

Nice pieces! I particularly like that blue Blue Mauritius coin. As for other ones, Austria issued two bimetallic silver-titanium "Millennium" coins in 2000 and 2001. Links only because those do not really belong in here.

The central part of either piece is titanium. But in these cases, the bimetallic effect is almost lost ...

Thank you Christian I must see If i can find them for my collection

 

These are called "collector's coins" because they're not really legal tender and were never intended to circulate. Most of these coins never got anywhere NEAR the contries they claim to be from. I've BEEN to the British Virgin Islands, and they don't sell these things in souvenier shops. They use American Dollars and American coins. I"ve been to Gibralter, and that's slightly different. But their contract with the Pubjoy mint has expired.
