1981 Coins as Gifts
A coin bearing the year of a celebration is a increasingly popular but unusual and very special gift.

How We Can Help You
As a leading UK coin dealer, we are often asked for coins or coin sets from particular years such as 1981, as gift items. We are happy to try to oblige. On this page we list a few suggestions.
We keep most of the following coins in stock for immediate delivery.

Gold Sovereigns
Gold sovereigns are the birthday gift we most often get asked about.
We keep in stock almost every date of gold sovereign including 1981, in fact for 1981 we can offer a choice of gold sovereign types.

We have more information about gold sovereigns on our Gold Sovereigns website.

Half Sovereigns
Half sovereigns are the second most common requested item for coming-of-age gifts.
Unfortunately, there were no half sovereigns, uncirculated or proof, issued dated 1981.

Krugerrands
Although we don't get asked for krugers as frequently as sovereigns, they are a suitable and unusual alternative.
They are available for 1981, and also fractional sizes of krugerrands were introduced in 1980 for the first time.
The four sizes of krugerrand are:-

Because 1981 is a special year, we try to keep at least one each of all four sizes in stock.
Prices, particularly of the larger sizes, are subject to fluctuations in the underlying price of gold bullion, but our latest prices when we wrote this page were as follows:-
We have more information about all four sizes of krugerrands on our specialised Tax Free Gold website, where you will also find updated prices.

British Coin Sets
For 1981, we have Royal Mint proof sets available from stock.
These are described more fully on our 1981 Coin Sets page.
1981 Gold Sovereign Proof Set
In 1981, the Royal Mint issued a very unusual proof coin set. This consists of a gold £5 coin, a sovereign, silver proof crown, and a proof version of the six circulating coins.
They were struck as a limited edition, but we occasionally have one in stock. They make a very special gift, and naturally are quite expensive.
We have more information about the 1981 gold proof set on our specialised Tax Free Gold website.

Other British Coins
1981 Royal Wedding Crown
In 1981 there was a crown issued to celebrate the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles & Princess Diana.
They were produced in an ordinary uncirculated version, and also as a silver proof edition.

1981 Royal Wedding Collection
For the Royal Wedding, there was also an international collection of silver proof crowns issued by 16 Commonwealth countries.

Although we specialise mainly in British coins, there are many other world coins and coin sets, some gold, some silver, which can make great gifts especially if the person has a particular affinity or connection with that country.
