Winston Churchill to grace the new �5

Phil Mussell — 30/04/2013 16:52:00

We won't get it for a while but when we do the new £5 note will bear the face of Sir Winston Churchill - arguably one of the finest, and most recognisable of all Britons.

The new note, which won't grace our purses, wallets or ATMs until 2016, will feature the face of "Winnie" taken from a photograph by Yousuf Karsh in 1941, in the background will be the palace of Westminster and the newly named "Elizabeth Tower" - more familiarly (if incorrectly) known as Big Ben. The clock on the tower shows 3.00pm - the approximate time Churchill delivered his "blood, toil, tears and sweat" speech on May 13 1940. Part of the speech is featured on the note. Also seen is Churchill's 1953 Nobel Prize for literature.

It should be noted that the choice of note - the £5 - and the date of issue - 2016 - may be subject to change.

It's Harrogate Time

Phil Mussell — 19/03/2013 15:16:00

The Harrogate Spring Coin Fair takes place Friday 22 and Saturday 23 at The Old Swan Hotel. There will be over 40 dealers in attendance and the Token Team are going too!

Opening times are 11 am Friday and 9.30 am Saturday so there's plenty of time for breakfast/coffee first in the wonderful spa town. If you haven't been to Harrogate before it's a real delight, it is well worth a visit and what better excuse than there being a Coin Show there!

The Token Team is once again looking forward to attending the Irish International Coin and Medal fair to be held at the Royal Dublin Society, Ballsbridge, Dublin on February 23-24 We love it in the city and are thoroughly looking forward to visiting once again - we hope all our Irish readers (and some from this side of the water) will be able to make it too.

If you have never been to Dublin then you really should visit, it is a beautiful city and this is an ideal excuse - as if you needed one!

It's legal tender

Phil Mussell — 08/08/2012 15:23:00

Anyone in the note world (or who has seen Michael McIntyre on stage) will know there should be no issue accepting Scottish notes in England, apparently that isn't the case in London at the moment as hordes of Scots come in for the Olympics - as this story from the BBC aptly demonstrates

York - again!

Phil Mussell — 10/07/2012 09:47:00

I can't quite believe it but the York Coin and Medal fair is almost upon us once again (and with it summer is almost over, oh no., wait it never actually began...).

Next Friday and Saturday will see the Knavesmire Stand at York Racecourse play host to a large number of dealers all of whom are guaranteed to carry some fantastic stock!

The fair starts at 11.00am on Friday (July 20) and 10.00am on Saturday and, as always, entrance is completely free!

We'll be there of course, it's a long way from Devon to York but if we can make it we're sure you can too!
