Five Limited Edition Commemorative Coins That Will Take Your Collection to the Next Level

Whether you are an expert or a novice, coin collecting is an incredibly rewarding pastime, and adding commemorative coins to your collection is the best way to raise your collecting game. Commemorative coins often signify a historic event or anniversary, so are the most sought-after and therefore favoured by collectors.

Another key factor that collectors will favour is the limitation. Of course, the smaller the limitation, the more desirable a coin becomes and therefore is a must-have for any collection, especially for those who enjoy the thrill of owning something rare and unique. Limited edition coins will undoubtedly stand out amongst others, and the envy from fellow collectors when they witness a coin in your collection that they are unable to obtain creates a buzz that is indescribable and sees your appreciation of your personal collection growing immensely.

Collectors and non-collectors alike are keen to get their hands on limited edition silver coins

Regardless of if they are silver or gold, limited edition coins are highly-collectable and a fantastic option for anyone who purchases with the desire to pass their collection down to family members in the future. Over the years, we have seen an increased demand for silver coins, and this is for a number of reasons.

Firstly, silver coins are more affordable than gold, therefore, it is a perfect choice for those who enjoy collecting on a budget and do not want to break the bank. It is also a lot easier to get your hands on commemorative silver coins, and they often offer limited edition qualities. Finally, it may just be down to personal preference. Some numismatists may favour silver coins over other metal compositions, or you may find that they have started their collection with silver coins, and prefer to follow that route rather than have a slightly mismatched collection.

Are you looking for ways to enhance your collection and want to get your hands on limited edition silver coins? If so, we offer a range of exclusive and sought-after silver coins, mostly with very limited mintages. With a wide span of knowledge, we have put together our top five limited edition commemorative coins which will certainly take your collection to the next level and have your fellow collectors in awe of your outstanding treasury.

Which is our best-selling commemorative coin?

The year 2022 witnessed an event that in the entirety of British history has never happened before; Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch ever to reach a Platinum Jubilee. Her Late Majesty was not only our longest-reigning monarch, but she was also our oldest reigning monarch and the celebrations of her seventy year reign saw us all become part of one of the biggest events in British history. This was an event that will not take place again for at least another century, and it is quite possible that it may never happen again.

Because of an event of such magnitude, the demand for Queen Elizabeth II coinage skyrocketed, and collectors and non-collectors alike all wanted to get their hands on the best commemorative coins available on the market. Amongst the issue of some fantastic and unique Platinum Jubilee commemorative coins was the release of an exceptional silver five pound; The 2022 Platinum Jubilee Tower in Bloom Silver Five Pound.

Silver coins are extremely popular amongst avid coin collectors, but what makes this exceptional silver five pound stand out amongst others is that it features a spectacular design, in full colour! It is a superb way to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s incredible milestone achievement and one that will instantly inject some colour into coin collections of all themes and sizes.

Also in the design is an arrangement of summer flowers, in full colour to represent the vibrancy of Her Late Majesty’s lifelong dedication to the British public. The flowers shown include Lily of the valley, which was the Late Queen’s favourite flower. The other flowers are species that flower during the summer (Cosmo, Gerbera, Rudbekia, Blue cornflower) and were likely to have been used in arrangements and gardens throughout the country during this summer of celebration.

Coin collectors certainly appreciate this unique design, and combined with the significance of the event it celebrates, it is evidently our best-selling commemorative coin even a year after it’s initial release. As this is the very first time that Britain has celebrated such an event, it is also the first time that it has been featured on commemorative coins, and this extraordinary silver coin is the perfect way to anchor the memory of a Platinum Jubilee.

How many limited edition coins are made?

It is quite common for commemorative coins to be labelled as limited edition for one reason or another, and with a wide variety of options out there you may find yourself struggling to determine which coins are going to offer something rare and distinctive to your collection. However, the key thing to look for when choosing a collection that will stand out amongst all others is the mintage limitation.

Often, the mintage limitation will be determined by the event in which the coins are commemorating. Take for example our 2022 Platinum Jubilee Tower in Bloom Silver Five Pound, this is limited to 2,022 coins worldwide, which you may think is quite high in comparison to other collections. However, this signifies an event of such magnitude, and the mintage limitation reflects the year in which we as a nation celebrated the Platinum Jubilee; 2022.

If you are wanting limited edition coins with low mintages, we have a fantastic range of silver one crown coins for King Charles III, all with a small mintage of just 999 worldwide.
