Eagles are large predatory birds that have been symbols of power, courage, and immortality since ancient times. The more than 50 species all belong to the HAWK family, Accipitridae, order Falconiformes. Eagles inhabit all major land regions except Antarctica and New Zealand. Although once abundant, some eagles are becoming rare and face extinction. One rare species is the bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, the national emblem of the United States. Although protected by law, some large eagles are killed by farmers and gamekeepers or captured for use in falconry. In addition, the bald eagle, like other birds, has been affected by the widespread use of pesticides that, ingested, can weaken eggs.
” What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.” Winston Churchill House of Commons, June18th 1940
On 2 May 1945, after one of the most intense battles in human history, the guns at last stopped firing amongst the ruins of Berlin. According to Soviet veterans, the silence that followed the fighting was literally deafening. Less than four years after his attack on the Soviet Union, Hitler’s self-proclaimed thousand-year Reich had ceased to exist.

For years I have been trying to find enough quantities of nice, brilliant uncirculated world coins with a ship motif, and have finally succeeded. This beautiful set of coins represents fifteen different “ship” coins from fifteen different countries. The countries represented are: Cyprus, Eastern Caribbean States, Gambia, Gibraltar, Greece, Great Britain, Isle of Man, Israel, South Korea, Kuwait, Maldives, Portugal, Qatar and South Africa. This set would make a beautiful and unique gift for any young numismatist or collector of ship and/or world coins.
At a formal handover ceremony on December 20, 1999, Macau, the last remaining dependent state in Asia and, therefore, the final vestige of European colonialism in the region, reverted to Chinese sovereignty after 442 years of Portuguese rule. This beautiful Brilliant Uncirculated crown commemorates the event and would be a welcome addition to any collection of world coins.
One of several medals issued by the United Kingdom to mark the 25th Anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Beautiful piece of exonumia that will make a nice addition to any collection of British Royal Family memorabilia.
