The Christmas coins with a King on both sides!
With the festive season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to expand your Christmas coin collection, and I have something very special that I want you to see.
I am, of course, talking about the brand new Christmas coin range issued by the Falkland Islands, featuring a magnificent King Penguin against a backdrop of falling snow. The Falkland Islands are known as the ‘Penguin Capital of the World’, so it’s only fitting that a penguin features on their 2024 Christmas coins!
A King on both sides
Interestingly, these coins both feature a ‘King’ on both the obverse and reverse, as the Falklands effigy of King Charles III features on the obverse and a King Penguin graces the reverse.
Whether you’re a collector of 50ps or £2 coins, the 2024 Falklands Christmas coin range boasts a beautifully festive design on both denominations. These coins have been struck to a superior Brilliant Uncirculated quality to perfectly capture the King Penguin in all its impressive glory.

In high demand
You would probably expect these coins to be popular with collectors, but you might be shocked to hear just how in-demand they’ve been already!
Last month, we offered Change Checkers an exclusive chance to pre-order the BU Colour version of the 50p, and the entire edition limit was fully reserved in less than a week!
We’ve been lucky enough to secure a limited number of the non-colour BU coins for Change Checkers, but we anticipate these will be in equally high demand.

The Snowman™ and The Snowdog come to life on brand new UK 50p!
A brand-new UK 50p is now available, marking the 10th anniversary of the first premiere of ‘The Snowman™ and The Snowdog‘ film.
The critically acclaimed animated sequel, ‘The Snowman™ and The Snowdog‘, suitably premiered on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve, 2012.
It was created with the late Raymond Briggs’ blessing and subsequently, in 2015, a book of the film was published by Puffin, bringing words to the story for the first time.
And, for the first time ever The Snowdog joins The Snowman™ on a UK 50p!
Interestingly for collectors, The Snowman™ and The Snowdog 50p features a design by award-winning illustrator Robin Shaw.
As well as being an accredited designer, Shaw also acted as assistant director on the 2012 film!
You can get The Snowman™ and The Snowdog 50p today for JUST £4.99 (+p&p) by clicking here >>
2022 UK The Snowman™ and The Snowdog
Undeniably, Snowman™ coins are some of the most popular out there, with previous issues selling out remarkably fast.
Three out of the now five Snowman™ 50ps are also no longer available at The Royal Mint, meaning you need to act fast to get your hands on this new coin.
And considering the brand new UK Snowman™ and The Snowdog 50p is available the same year as Raymond Briggs’ passing, it is comparatively the most poignant yet.
It’s also guaranteed to be one of the last UK coins with Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait on the obverse. This is sure to drive demand for this brand new 50p…
As the UK’s only official Christmas coin, it is the perfect festive gift, that’s certainly going to warm the hearts of every collector (and every dog lover) out there!
