Arguably the first true British commemorative coin @NumisRob: Nice example! Definitely a modern-era coin that has a secure place in the history of British coinage. (I've enjoyed having one in my collection for a number of years!)

Arguably the first true British commemorative coin - 50% silver crown issued in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V: Very nice!  Quote:
Here's a set of Booker T Washington commemorative half dollars from 1946 in one of the original three-coin black leatherette holders that were used to distribute the coins. An outstanding looking set!

The Canadian Arctic Expedition commemorative looks great. I like the selective gold plating. It works very well I think. |

@jbuck/NumisEd: I agree! The Canadian Arctic Expedition silver dollar's design works on several levels and the selective gold-plating on the foreground expedition team really makes the figures pop!
When it's done well, I very much like silver coins with selective gold-plating.
