A Complete Set of Rare British Circulation Coins Minted a Century Ago in 1921

When a minor European princeling was born on a small Greek island in 1921 to a family soon to be exiled there was no fanfare … no hasty striking of commemorative coins and medals. Who could have foreseen that this baby would marry a princess who would go on to become the longest-reigning sovereign in the world? Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, for his part, was destined to become the longest living, longest-serving and most influential consort in British royal history.

Scarce coins brought to you by our experts

There is no existing heritage coin collection minted to commemorate the year of Prince Philip’s birth. This set of eight original coins from 1921 is the only ‘commemoration’ in fine quality circulation coinage you are ever likely to find. With each passing year, these coins are becoming scarcer and more difficult to source. Heritage Coins is proud to announce that our coin experts have accumulated enough to make a small number of Prince Philip Birth Year Coin Sets available to our preferential clients on a first-come, first-served basis.

A unique reminder of bygone times

This is the coinage minted during the reign of the Queen’s grandfather, King George V. From the humble farthing, the halfpenny, penny, threepence and sixpence to the shilling, florin and half-crown, these coins belong to a bygone era when money still had ‘the look’ and ‘the feel’ of money. The silver coins contained real silver and our money had nicknames such as ‘bob’, ‘tanner’ and ‘joey’. Now you can own the complete set of eight circulation coins which celebrate and commemorate the auspicious 1921 birth of the baby who went on to become HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh … and much missed ‘grandfather of our nation’.

Your Coin Set includes

Your coin set will be presented in a bespoke wooden Presentation Box† with each coin individually encapsulated to protect and preserve it for future generations. You will also receive a Certificate of Authenticity and a booklet with fascinating information on the coins and the life of Prince Philip.

The availability of complete year sets – especially of this age – is diminishing year on year. With an increasing interest in old coins, the finite supply means this kind of collection will one day soon be beyond the reach of most people. So please order as soon as possible as we have only a limited number of sets available.
