The Twelve Days
of Christmas…A striking work of numismatic craftsmanship, the
2010 $2 Twelve Days
of Christmas Silver
Proof Collection will
impress any collector
with an eye for quality – and make a
prestigious gift for a
loved one this Festive
Season.
Celebrating the 12-day
period of merrymaking
from the day after
Christmas to the
Feast of the Epiphany,
on January the 6th,
the Twelve Days of
Christmas is among
the most popular and
oft-recorded Christmas
songs of the last
century.
A cumulative song,
famously enumerating
a series of increasingly
extravagant gifts, it is
believed that the Twelve
Days of Christmas,
whilst considered a
traditional English
Christmas carol,
actually emerged from
rural France. Although
the origins, meaning
and even the words of
the song are open to
speculation, however,
there is no doubt that
the Twelve Days of
Christmas has become
one of the world’s most
beloved Christmas
carols – and the
perfect subject
for a Christmas coin
collection!
Struck by Swiss
precious metal specialists Produits
Artistiques Métaux
Précieux (PAMP),
this stunning legal
tender 12-coin Proof
Set represents a
spellbinding tribute to
this Christmas classic.
Bearing an imaginative,
skilfully designed
depiction of one of the
verses of the Twelve
Days of Christmas,
each of the crown-sized
38.61mm legal tender
coins is underpinned by
superb high relief Proof
quality. Individually
brilliant, the twelve 25g
.999 fine silver coins
move to a new level
when united as a single
collection.
A joyous, elegant
celebration of a key element of Christmas tradition, we have only a small

There’s only one essential ingredient of a real Aussie Christmas pudding – genuine Australian silver! Without the
‘trey’ (3d) and ‘zac’ (6d), it’s just not
the real thing!
Symbolising good fortune and wealth for the finder for the coming year, the custom of adding silver coins to the Christmas Pudding dates back to the 19th century. A key part of the Australian Christmas experience, this longstanding
tradition continues at Downies in 2010, with these bags of original predecimal silver coins. And, with each bag comprising ten coins – six threepences and four sixpences – you can give anyone that missed out on a coin in the pudding one of the extras!

Hello Kitty – in pure silver!Struck specifically for the Japanese market, this
stunning 3-coin set has been issued to
mark the 50th anniversary of Sanrio, creator
of the worldwide phenomenon Hello
Kitty. Struck by Swiss precious metal experts Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux (PAMP), the tiny mintage of 3,000 sets is sure to be blown
away by demand. A highly distinctive celebration of a true icon of modern Japanese popular culture, each set comprises three legal tender $2 coins. Struck in an unusual heart-shaped format, and underpinned by PAMP’s exquisite Proof quality, each coin measures 37.13mm x 31.90mm, and comprises 1oz of pure .999 silver. Featuring Hello Kitty,
along with her friends, the three coins have been delicately
embellished with glorious full-colour,
with each also distinguished by a pink
crystal embedded
in the reverse! Presented in typically eye-catching Hello Kitty packaging, this startling precious metal trio is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the extremely exclusive mintage of 3,000. With the entirety of that mintage distributed in Japan, and an instantaneous sell-out anticipated, Downies is one of very few dealers across the world to be in a position to offer these coins. We secured just 20 collections, and with the Japanese market gripped by Hello Kitty mania, we have already had to fight off interest from Japanese dealers to present them to our clients. An immediate order is essential – once gone,
this collection will be gone forever.
Hello Kitty Holey Dollar & Dump – in gold!
TWENTY SETS IN AUSTRALIA! SELL OUT CERTAIN!
An extremely prestigious
acquisition for Hello
Kitty fans, Swiss
precious metal specialists PAMP
was also commissioned
to strike a gold coin based on the beloved Japanese character in honour of Sanrio’s 50th anniversary –
and what a coin
it is!
Using the Holey Dollar &
Dump format so familiar
to Australian audiences,
this delightful Gold
Proof comprises two
official legal tender
coins. Measuring
30mm, and comprising
1/2oz of pure, lustrous
22-carat gold in total,
the $30 Holey Dollar
and interlocking $20
Dump are struck to the
highest Proof quality.
A stunning fusion of
precious metal and full-
colour, with Hello Kitty’s
bow in bright pink, the
quality of the coins is
matched only by that
of the highly original
presentation. Knowing
the penchant of
Japanese collectors for
innovative packaging,
PAMP created a highly
distinctive Hello Kitty
case in which to house
the two gold Proofs.
Specifically struck for
Japanese collectors,
very few coins from
the tiny mintage of
1,000 will ever make it
onto the international
market. Sure to be one
of the hottest products
of 2010, it was only
through our contacts
in Japan, forged via
our privileged role as
official distributor for
the Japan Mint, that we
were able to secure this
instant rarity on behalf
of our clients. With
just ten coins in stock,
however, and no chance
of obtaining more,
an early order is
imperative.

Britain’s new 2010 Gold £5 BU!
Continuing a series that began in 1820, Britain’s 2010 £5 Gold BU is one of the most prestigious, most historic acquisitions in world coinage. With the Royal Mint restricting the mintage to just 1,000 coins, it is also one of the most exclusive. Comprising the same amount of gold as when first struck during the reign of King George III – the exact equivalent to five sovereigns – this majestic 39.94g coin is also distinguished by the same exquisite
design. Indeed, 193 years after the St George design was introduced to British coinage, the Mint has gone to unusual lengths to recreate the splendour of this dramatic motif for the 2010 £5 BU release. Using tooling from the 1820s and 1870s to create a new die, the Mint’s Engraving Team has created a coin that is true to Pistrucci’s original numismatic masterpiece. This special treatment will intensify demand for what is unquestionably
one of the world’s most prestigious, most admired and most desirable gold coins. Although promised an allocation from the mintage of 1,000 as a result of our role as official Mint distributor, our stock is sure to be exhausted quickly – as it is every year.
