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.
Secure yours in time for Christmas
Don’t miss out on owning these special Christmas coins – once they’re gone, they’re gone!
