Once upon a time in 1835, Hans Christian Andersen published his first book of fairy tales. It included beloved tales such as ‘The Princess and the Pea’, ‘Thumbelina’, and ‘The Tinder Box’.

As part of the 175th anniversary celebrations of Andersen’s first book, the British Virgin Islands issued an enchanted coin featuring stories from the first book, as well as Andersen composing his tales and a central image of ‘The Little Mermaid’.

One side of the titanium coin is blue, while the other is golden. It is the world’s first bi-coloured Titanium coin! Due to titanium’s rarity and the difficulty of striking such innovative coins, only a small number will be made. Order now to own this genuine piece of Hans Christian Andersen history!

Pobjoy Mint was established in the middle ages in Great Britain and today makes superior coins for special commemoratives and for governments.

Pobjoy has reputation as top coin designer and coin dieing techniques and for top quality packaging.

The Pobjoy family has been associated with fine metalwork since the Middle Ages. The Company was recently granted permission to use the family Coat of Arms in which the Medieval Popinjay is the central motif. The Popinjay was a painted wooden parrot used in archery contests in the 14th century and the name Pobjoy is derived from this. The Latin motto 'OCULO CERTO' means 'with an unerring eye' and applies equally to the ancestor's prowess as a marksman, as to the Company's reputation for the high quality and precision of its products. Over the past three centuries, the Company has been involved in many diverse fields, but they have always been involved in metal, both base and precious. During World War II Pobjoy Aero Engineering was involved in the manufacturing of the famous Spitfire wings. The Company is now the largest private Mint in Europe.
