Marilyn Monroe is the subject of this special silver commemorative, which is sure to captivate her many fans.
Monroe (1926 – 1962) was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, but baptized Norma Jeane Baker.  She was an American actress and model who graced the screen with her luminous beauty. 

Considered the epitome of the ‘blond bombshell’, Monroe began her career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946.  Her early film appearances were minor, but by 1959, she had attained several leading roles and was being hailed by critics.  In her relatively short career, she won both a BAFTA award (1957) and a Golden Globe award (1959).

Monroe’s film career and troubled life have been well documented and controversy still surrounds her untimely passing in 1962.  What is certain however, is that Monroe remains a ‘megawatt’ of the silver screen.

• Iconic RMS Titanic Poster Coloured Reverse Design

Sailing into collectable history is our tribute to the centenary of the Titanic.  This is great news for lovers of marine history and Titanic aficionados.

It was the world’s most famous passenger ship disaster.  On a cold, moonless night just before midnight, the ‘unsinkable’ RMS Titanic struck an iceberg.

Moments before impact, lookout Frederick Fleet peered into the darkness in horror at the approach of a menacing black shape. With the icy monolith just yards away, his alarm initiated frantic efforts to slow the ship and change course. They proved fruitless. Over the next few hours, an estimated 1,517 doomed souls met their watery fate in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic.

The grave of RMS Titanic, resting deep in the North Atlantic, remains a memorial to those that lost their lives, and a testament to those who bore the lifelong sorrow of that loss.
