The perfect gift for the friend who has everything
Some people have everything and finding a special birthday gift for them can be frustrating and time-consuming.

These uncirculated coins are carefully selected, and supply is limited, making this a unique gift that will be appreciated for the thought that went into it. The 2019 Birthday Gift Set includes 5-cent, 10-cent, 25-cent and $2 coins as well as a specially struck $1 coin that is unique to the gift set. Each gift set can be personalized with best wishes, a meaningful message or a significant date.
Another great birthday gift is a 2019 Zodiac coin. There are currently six coins available in this series, Capricorn, Aquarius, Taurus, Pisces, Aries, Gemini and Cancer but ultimately there will be a full set of 12. Designed by artist Jori van der Linde, these coins feature an engraved outer ring of Roman numerals reminiscent of a classic watch or clock and an inner ring of 20 Swarovski® crystals surrounding a colourful zodiac-themed image.
