Glittering Coins from Gibraltar





Hi ! I have just published February issue of Rainbow Stamp News on Blog. Please view at http://www.rainbowstampnews.blogspot.com/ for new articles and updates on philately. In today's Post some glittering coins recently issued by Gibraltar. 11th November 2008 marked the start of the final journey of the great ship Queen Elizabeth 2. After calling at various “Friendly Ports” on route, the “Queen of the Oceans” proceeded to her final resting place at Palm Jumeirah Dubai. The QE2 as she is commonly known, has sailed the world's seas for almost forty years, and has travelled over five million miles in the process, which is further than any other ship in history! To celebrate the end of an era, Gibraltar brought out The Final Voyage of the QE2 Silver Proof 5oz Coin. Struck in Sterling Silver to a dazzling proof finish, this imposing 5oz coin features an image of the ship herself against the Rock of Gibraltar. Some more Gibraltar coins given below. I am giving it here as many of you love to collect coins and stamps both.So the today's post for the lovers of coins ! This is all for today...Till Next Post ....Have a Nice Time !...
