Comes in original presentation box with COA and c olour booklet with stories of the Underground. Both 150th Anniversary coins were developed with experts at Transport for London and the London Transport Museum, and designed by three of the UK’s leading designers. Edwina Ellis, creator of the ‘Roundel’ coin, is a pioneering printmaker and former ‘Art on the Underground’ artist. Her design has lettering in the Johnston font used in Underground stations and an edge inscription that reads MIND THE GAP. The ‘Train’ coin was designed by the internationally-acclaimed duo Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, best known for the design of the London 2012 Olympic Torch. Their coin shows the cab of a 1967 Victoria line Tube train and uses texture and perspectives to reflect the light and create a sense of movement. It carries an unusual edge inscription inspired by Harry Beck’s Tube map. It is rare for two circulating coins to celebrate a single theme, they are sure to delight coin collectors, Londoners and transport enthusiasts alike. PLACE YOUR BID NOW!

Please take a moment to read the following information which I’ve put together to make things clear and to pre-empt any queries. Please check the info below before contacting me with any queries. I only sell genuine items All items I sell are authentic; I do NOT deal in any counterfeit items. Payment Method • PayPal within 3 days of end of auction, or immediately if using “Buy It Now”.• Crossed British Postal Order within 5 days• Non-payers will be reported Shipping and Handling Costs These costs take into account a number of factors, which include my time spent packing the parcel, the cost of the packaging materials, cost of stamps, and my time travelling to the post office and queuing for up to 30 minutes at a time! I no longer offer an option to collect in person due to a problem that I had previously with someone who came to my house to pick up an item. Dispatch Time I work full time so I may not be able to get to the post office every day. However, I do try to post items within 2 – 3 working days after receiving payment and obtain proof of postage for every item I send. Delivery Time UK delivery time is usually between 1 – 5 working days after dispatch. Delivery times for Europe may take 1 – 2 weeks, and Americas/Asia/Australia can sometimes take 3 or 4 weeks to arrive. The delivery times are out of my hands so please be patient. Please note: I am NOT a postman, so it won’t be me who comes to your door to deliver the item - I pay the post office to do this. So... any delays that may occur after items are posted are obviously outside of my control and I cannot be blamed for this! I will act according to Royal Mail’s advice in respect of any delays/damage or loss and buyers must also abide by it.
