YeOldeCollector Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm not sure about new coins but there is a dedicated set and a £1 coin that has been issued. The set can be seen here, vastly overpriced if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I do like the designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks for the info, I'm gonna look into it further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 The RCM also issued some NCLT, with the oversized steel 25c the most overpriced of the lot. (They've been making a lot of oversized quarters of late...) http://www.mint.ca/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I gotta admit, I like the carriage design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyJMartha Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Indeed, the carriage design is definitely good. But, may be you would like to have a look at the second coin the Royal Canadian Mint has released. It is $5 fine silver coin with selective gold plating that looks amazing and features a gold-plated monogrammed “W” and “C” with crowns.

Scottishmoney Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really liked the one from Netherlands when Princess Amalie was born a lot better than these - at least the coin had an actual portrait of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I was hoping for a change from the Edwards & Georges, I know we have a Charles then Henry in waiting but I think almost 300 hundred years of Kings George & Edward with just a William is too much. Luckily they did not name the Queens George or Edward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I seem to remember reading somewhere that Prince Chuck was likely to choose his fourth name George as his regnal name since the name Charles (along with John, Henry and Edward) is considered... let's say 'historically unfortunate' considering the first holder was beheaded and the second presided over the Great Fire of London and the Black Death (which weren't his fault) and was known for scandalous behavior, siring scads of illegitimate children (which were). And of course Bonnie Prince Charlie is already associated with the name Charles III. So he may very well be George VII rather than Charles III. It's not without precedent even in the recent monarchy -- both Edward VII and George VI were Alberts, and Victoria was actually Alexandrina. Still, having been known publicly as Charles for so long, he may feel compelled to stick with it. More entertaining is the idea of choosing his third name, and becoming King Arthur II... but I don't think he wants to set up that kind of comparison. And I'm not sure he's even required to choose one of his given names. There hasn't been a Stephen for a while... or an Æthelstan, for that matter.

ikaros Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I dunno if he really wants to invite those comparisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen would be another historically unlucky name, as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
