Just came across these during my e-bay "window shopping" browsing time.

Wasn't sure if I can put this in the Silver deals thread because I guess these are for the numismatists amongst us (?) as these are 'medals/rounds', struck in sterling and has a high premium. It's way beyond my budget as I'm mainly stacking mode. I do like the designs/artwork of these and it's a complete set. Can't seem to find much info about it yet except on some e-bay and antiques net stores.

Have any one came across or seen these before ?

I'm interested to hear what you think

A few years ago there was a split set with all individually auctioned on eBay.

I bought the Capricorn as that is my star sign, it's also dated 1978 which is my birth year.

Lovely rounds, a tad spoiled by the gem stones I reckon.

From memory, they are around 2oz.

I collect the ukraine lunar coins. Maybe have a look at them on ebay. You might like them.
