NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17885 Posts	Posted 12/27/2024 04:34 am Picture released by Westminster Collection / Change Checker showing UK commemorative coins for 2025: The Railway £2 is one I would have expected, but no idea what the Queen Mother £5 is (her dates were 1900-2002 so not an obvious anniversary) or why we need another WW2 50p. Royal Observatory OK, Red Arrows were founded 1964 so 50th anniversary. Based on recent years it's unlikely we'll see any of these coins in circulation or otherwise available at face value.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/27/2024 8:17 pm In most cases the designs and subject matter of British commemorative coins makes them quite interesting. I am not a commemorative coin collector unless they have been issued into circulation, and can be obtained at face value from pocket change. However, they have to be collected in at least MS-60, {preferably better}, condition. Interestingly, it is these coins that an investment profit can be made many years later. On the other hand, for me at least, proof NIFC commemorative coins have turned out to be a very poor investment, when purchased as new Mint product, even with the fancy packaging.

Except for the ones that I really like, of course. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17885 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 03:41 am Quote: The Queen Mother coin celebrates 125 years since her birth. She was a much-loved lady, but we had coins for her 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays and then again to commemorate her when she passed away in 2002. Do we really need a 125th anniversary coin? And be prepared for an avalanche of 'Centenary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II' coins next year!
