2010 $2 Twelve Days

of Christmas Silver

Proof Collection will

impress any collector

with an eye for quality – and make a

prestigious gift for a

loved one this Festive

Season.

Celebrating the 12-day

period of merrymaking

from the day after

Christmas to the

Feast of the Epiphany,

on January the 6th,

the Twelve Days of

Christmas is among

the most popular and

oft-recorded Christmas

songs of the last

century.

A cumulative song,

famously enumerating

a series of increasingly

extravagant gifts, it is

believed that the Twelve

Days of Christmas,

whilst considered a

traditional English

Christmas carol,

actually emerged from

rural France. Although

the origins, meaning

and even the words of

the song are open to

speculation, however,

there is no doubt that

the Twelve Days of

Christmas has become

one of the world’s most

beloved Christmas

carols – and the

perfect subject

for a Christmas coin

collection!

Struck by Swiss

precious metal specialists Produits

Artistiques Métaux

Précieux (PAMP),

this stunning legal

tender 12-coin Proof

Set represents a

spellbinding tribute to

this Christmas classic.

Bearing an imaginative,

skilfully designed

depiction of one of the

verses of the Twelve

Days of Christmas,

each of the crown-sized

38.61mm legal tender

coins is underpinned by

superb high relief Proof

quality. Individually

brilliant, the twelve 25g

Hello Kitty – in pure silver!Struck specifically for the Japanese market, this

stunning 3-coin set has been issued to

mark the 50th anniversary of Sanrio, creator

of the worldwide phenomenon Hello

Kitty. Struck by Swiss precious metal experts Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux (PAMP), the tiny mintage of 3,000 sets is sure to be blown

away by demand. A highly distinctive celebration of a true icon of modern Japanese popular culture, each set comprises three legal tender $2 coins. Struck in an unusual heart-shaped format, and underpinned by PAMP’s exquisite Proof quality, each coin measures 37.13mm x 31.90mm, and comprises 1oz of pure .999 silver. Featuring Hello Kitty,

along with her friends, the three coins have been delicately

embellished with glorious full-colour,

with each also distinguished by a pink

crystal embedded

in the reverse! Presented in typically eye-catching Hello Kitty packaging, this startling precious metal trio is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the extremely exclusive mintage of 3,000. With the entirety of that mintage distributed in Japan, and an instantaneous sell-out anticipated, Downies is one of very few dealers across the world to be in a position to offer these coins. We secured just 20 collections, and with the Japanese market gripped by Hello Kitty mania, we have already had to fight off interest from Japanese dealers to present them to our clients. An immediate order is essential – once gone,

this collection will be gone forever.

Hello Kitty Holey Dollar & Dump – in gold!

TWENTY SETS IN AUSTRALIA! SELL OUT CERTAIN!

An extremely prestigious

acquisition for Hello

Kitty fans, Swiss

precious metal specialists PAMP

was also commissioned

to strike a gold coin based on the beloved Japanese character in honour of Sanrio’s 50th anniversary –

and what a coin

it is!

Using the Holey Dollar &

Dump format so familiar

to Australian audiences,

this delightful Gold

Proof comprises two

official legal tender

coins. Measuring

30mm, and comprising

1/2oz of pure, lustrous

22-carat gold in total,

the $30 Holey Dollar

and interlocking $20

Dump are struck to the

highest Proof quality.

A stunning fusion of

precious metal and full-

colour, with Hello Kitty’s

bow in bright pink, the

quality of the coins is

matched only by that

of the highly original

presentation. Knowing

the penchant of

Japanese collectors for

innovative packaging,

PAMP created a highly

distinctive Hello Kitty

case in which to house

the two gold Proofs.

Specifically struck for

Japanese collectors,

very few coins from

the tiny mintage of

1,000 will ever make it

onto the international

market. Sure to be one

of the hottest products

of 2010, it was only

through our contacts

in Japan, forged via

our privileged role as

official distributor for

the Japan Mint, that we

were able to secure this

instant rarity on behalf

of our clients. With

just ten coins in stock,

however, and no chance

of obtaining more,

an early order is

imperative.

Britain’s new 2010 Gold £5 BU!

Continuing a series that began in 1820, Britain’s 2010 £5 Gold BU is one of the most prestigious, most historic acquisitions in world coinage. With the Royal Mint restricting the mintage to just 1,000 coins, it is also one of the most exclusive. Comprising the same amount of gold as when first struck during the reign of King George III – the exact equivalent to five sovereigns – this majestic 39.94g coin is also distinguished by the same exquisite

design. Indeed, 193 years after the St George design was introduced to British coinage, the Mint has gone to unusual lengths to recreate the splendour of this dramatic motif for the 2010 £5 BU release. Using tooling from the 1820s and 1870s to create a new die, the Mint’s Engraving Team has created a coin that is true to Pistrucci’s original numismatic masterpiece. This special treatment will intensify demand for what is unquestionably

one of the world’s most prestigious, most admired and most desirable gold coins. Although promised an allocation from the mintage of 1,000 as a result of our role as official Mint distributor, our stock is sure to be exhausted quickly – as it is every year.
