All attractively packaged in a specially designed plastic case.

1908 - 2008 Centenary Coin
In 2008, Britain has issued a crown commemorating the Entente Cordiale. Although this is not a coin issued in 1908, it could serve as a good gift for a centenarian, because it shows both dates in its design. The 2008 crown is available in a number of different versions. Please see our 2008 Crowns page for full details.

2008 Gold Sovereigns
This years gold sovereigns are available. Please se the 2008 Sovereigns page of our gold sovereigns website. We feel that these coins would be a very good gift idea for a 80th anniversary for this year, whether it be a wedding, an eightieth birthday or something completely different.

Similarly the gold half sovereigns are also available. News and details about these are on the 2008 Half Sovereigns page of our Tax Free Gold website.
