Sure to appeal to the young, and the young at heart, the new 2012 $5 My Lovely Bear Silver Proof is now in stock at Downies! Highlighted by an innovative teddy design on the reverse, this cuddliest of coins is distinguished by a design made from genuine Swiss Embroidery!

Sure to be as popular as its super-successful predecessor, which sold out in record time in 2011, this highly original legal tender issue is struck to immaculate Proof quality from 20 grams of sterling silver. Sure to catch the eye of the collector looking for that ‘something different’, and clearly a fantastic option as a gift, the addition of a cuddly Teddy Bear crafted from original Swiss Embroidery will ensure a rapturous welcome for this innovative work of precious metal minting. Taken from a tiny worldwide mintage of just 2,012, each offi cial legal tender coin is housed in a plush case.

With the 2,011-coin mintage of the 2011 $5 Teddy Bear Silver Proof sold out at super speed – we only got the chance to offer the coin once in Money! – and our allocation of the stunning 2012 $5 my Lovely Bear Silver Proof strictly limited, we highly recommend an early order.

The cuddliest of coins!

When it comes to innovation, numismatics knows no bounds – as illustrated by this genuine legal tender Poker Chip Coin Collection!

Forming a distinctive addition to your collection, this unprecedented presentation comprises nine offi cial legal tender coins issued in the name of the tropical paradise of the Republic of Palau. Measuring an expansive 39.80mm in diameter, and yet ideal to pop in your pocket to give you that extra bit of good luck at the track or the casino table, each legal tender $1 coin is distinguished by a bright, colourful reverse design.

Including the 4-Leaf Clover, a horseshoe, a Royal Flush, a pair of die and more, each large, crown-sized coin portrays one of the world’s most famous good luck symbols. Made in exactly the same way as a traditional poker chip, each coin also features the Coat of Arms of Palau and the $1 denomination on the obverse – confi rming the offi cial legal tender status. Beautifully presented, this unusual legal tender collection is housed within an aluminium box with a glass lid – made in the same style as a genuine casino poker chip case!

Perfect as a fascinating, fun gift for another, the Palau $1 Good Luck Poker Chip Collection represents outstanding value-for-money at less than A$100. Pay little more than A$11 per Poker Chip coin!

A sensational addition to any full-colour coin collection, and a must-have for collectors of the Australian Deadly & Dangerous Series, we are delighted to have secured an allocation of the 2012 $1 Blue-Ringed Octopus Silver-plated Cu-Ni Proofl ike!

Among the world’s most dangerous sea creatures, the Blue-Ringed Octopus is intelligent, deceptively strong and armed with an immensely toxic poison – powerful enough to paralyse and kill humans. Famous for the luminous quality of its defensive mechanism, the octopus, when threatened, rapidly changes colour, with angry blue rings appearing on its body and tentacles. The perfect subject for full-colour coinage, the iridescent appearance of this lethal octopus is captured perfectly upon the broad, crown-sized frame of this sparkling new precious metal Proof.

Struck to Proofl ike quality from cupro-nickel, and precisely fi nished in pure silver, this one-year-only type features a vibrant full-colour design of the Blue-Ringed Octopus upon its crown-sized 38.61mm diameter fl an. An eye-catching work of full-colour minting, the 2012 $1 Blue-Ringed Octopus Silver-plated Cu-Ni Proofl ike is also notable for the dramatic obverse motif – a design that is ONLY found on

Palau’s 2012 Blue-Ringed Octopus issue!

Given that the price is so affordable – less than A$25 apiece! – it is remarkable that the worldwide mintage has been set at such a low level. A mere 5,000 coins have been struck for worldwide distribution! With that meagre mintage sure to sell out, we must emphasise the need for prompt action on the part of our clients.

� Struck to Proofl ike quality from cupro-nickel, and fi nished in pure silver!

� Absolutely sensational value-for-money at a mere A$24.95 apiece

� Beautifully presented within a plush case – mintage just 5,000 coins!

� Offi cial legal tender issue, each $1 carries a unique, ‘one-off’ obverse design!

An extraordinarily exclusive Silver Proof, with the worldwide mintage restricted to an unbelievably low 950 coins, Downies is delighted to have secured an allocation of the 2012 $5 Pacifi c Islands Forum Silver Proof.

Founded in 1971 to stimulate economic growth and enhance political governance and security in the region, the Pacifi c Islands Forum was held in the Cook Islands from the 27th to the 31st of August. To celebrate this important conference, which was underpinned by the theme ‘Large Ocean Island States – The Pacifi c Challenge’, the host nation authorised the issue of this offi cial legal tender coin.

Sure to be of great interest to full-colour coin collectors, with the tropical paradise of the Cook Islands captured beautifully upon the broad 38.61mm fl an, this impressive precious metal Proof will also be hunted down by those in search of coins defi ned by the most exclusive of limited availability. A signifi cant underestimation of the thriving market for full-colour coins, it is extremely surprising that the mintage has been set at a mere 950.

With our allocation from that ridiculously small mintage necessarily tiny, and a sell-out inevitable, immediate action is imperative.

� Tiny worldwide mintage just 950 coins!

� Struck to Proof quality from 20g of .999 silver

� Offi cial legal tender – measures 38.61mm

� Housed within a plush presentation case
