Cortez;
Thanks for sharing this. Great looking coin. I suspect there will be many amongst us that would like to acquire one.

That's quite a coin!! I'd love to have one.

I'm surprised the government put this on a coin considering the anti tobacco revolution. I do however like the coin and applaud the Queen for her approval.

Can't fool me with all the Doyle titles. That's Basil Rathbone!

So if English currency is going to feature fictional characters, I want to see Tim the enchanter and Mr. Bean.

I don’t mind the fictional character, plus it is cool having Sherlock Holmes on it!

 

[judcole]

Very cool.

I too am a little surprised, but Holmes without his calabash is like a lizard without a tail.

Is there anyway to not pay 10 pounds for a 50p coin, from the royal mint.? I would like a Hawking and Sherlock.

 

[3rdguy]

Did you go to their website? They have different finishes at different price points.

I'd say the image is of William Gillette rather than Rathbone.

I want one but not for 10 pound
