Got some 2004 Entente cordiale ones today at the Post Office. Too lazy to do scans.... -- Kaihsu 19:28, 2004 May 7 (UTC)

Got one of the Nelson ones today - I'll scan it if I get a chance in the next couple of weeks. Shimgray | talk | 17:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Millenium coins

Going from the descriptions, the reverse of the 2000 coin is exactly the same as the 1999 one, so I'v used the 1999 image for it. Also it seems the only difference on the obverse is the date, which would make it identical to that of the Queen Mother's Birthday coin.
Does anyone object to me cheating a bit and presenting this image again as being the 2000 version of the Millenium coin? boffy b

It's been three days, I'l take that as a no. Boffy b 22:38, 2004 Aug 25 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Iteration

Should there perhaps be some info on the 2006 version that will be celebrating the 80th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II? (Darien Shields 19:24, 22 November 2005 (UTC))

I got one of these at the Post Office today, and I've updated as much as I could (I'm not a coin expert, I'm afraid!), but there isn't anything on the Royal Mint site, so no pictures. Here are some rather blurred pictures I took of the one I got. Flick 217.146.126.149 13:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
