Set up by the Pobjoy family in 1965, our business has been striking official commemorative and circulating coins for over 57 years. All our coins bear either HLM Queen Elizabeth II's effigy or the Coat of Arms of the country, meaning we have had the honour of utilising four of HLM Queen Elizabeth II effigies, dating from 1968 to 2022. In accordance with a tradition that can be traced back to the 17th Century, successive monarchs face in alternate directions on their coinage. Therefore, as her late father, King George VI faced left, Her Late Majesty The Queen's effigy faced right.

In honour of the 40th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Falkland Islands, we have put together a list of our releases that commemorate this historic event. 

Liberation Day takes place on the 14th of June and commemorates the end of the occupation of the Falkland Islands by Argentina in 1982. Islanders gather at Christ Church Cathedral to mark the occasion with a thanksgiving service, followed by wreath-laying at the Liberation Monument and a military parade. The day is a public holiday in the Falkland Islands.
