Very nice coins; great detail; a must for anyone who is a fan of the television series. My only difficulty is that I can't figure out how to get the coins out of the case to look at the obverse; otherwise, very pleased. A+++!
New Zealand Mint and The Coin Shoppe are thrilled to introduce this Sherlock 2 x 1 oz Silver Coin Set featuring the main characters Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson.
The Sherlock coin set features the main characters on individual coins and each character image sits alongside a quintessential phrase, with a scenic image of London engraved in the background.
These contemporary coins combine colour and engraving, and are presented in a high-quality rectangular coin case that holds the two character coins facing one-another. The Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the inside of the packaging.
With a worldwide limited mintage of 5,000 coins, this stunning Sherlock silver coin set would make a fantastic gift for fans and coin collectors alike.
COIN STORY
About Sherlock, the BBC TV series
Co-created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson. Rupert Graves plays Inspector Lestrade.
The iconic details from Conan Doyle’s original books remain – they live at the same address of 221b Baker Street, have the same names and, somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting for them.
Steven Moffat says: “Conan Doyle’s stories were never about frock coats and gas light; they’re about brilliant detection, dreadful villains and blood-curdling crimes – and frankly, to hell with the crinoline. Other detectives have cases, Sherlock Holmes has adventures, and that’s what matters.”
Sherlock Holmes
Brilliant, aloof and almost entirely lacking in social graces.
Sherlock is a unique young man with a mind like a ‘racing engine’. Without problems to solve, that mind will tear itself to pieces and the more bizarre and baffling the problems the better. He has set himself up as the world’s only consulting detective, whom the police grudgingly accept as their superior
Dr John Watson
Brave, resourceful, practical.
Previously an army doctor, shattered by service in Afghanistan, John Watson discovered a new lease of life when he met Sherlock Holmes. Although often infuriated by Sherlock’s cold, detached manner, he also sees his flatmate as his best friend.
