Falkland Islands Commemorative
New Issue - Release Date - 16 May 2013
Baroness Margaret Thatcher
The election of Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minister at the United Kingdom General Election of 1979, is regarded as a pivotal point in 20th Century British politics not only for the defeat of James Callaghan’s incumbent Labour government but because it marked the first of four consecutive general election victories for the Conservative Party.
To date Margaret Thatcher is the first and only woman to have led a major political party in the UK and holding the office from 1979 to 1990, she served as British Prime Minister for the longest continuous period since Lord Liverpool in the early 19th century.

South Georgia - Mountains
A chain of alpine summits, amongst the highest mountains in the British territories, these are the icy jewels in the crown with unclimbed peaks that have been unattainable for so long. There are mountains that might take a week to climb from the shore and sometimes rebuff much longer efforts with the foulest weather and fierce storms that can lend fear and despondency into the very soul of even the most determined mountaineers. Mountains that bear the names of men indelibly linked to heroic age of exploration and the height of the British Empire. The savage mountains that spared Shackleton in his heroic quest for salvation become even higher as you journey further south into the Allardyce and Salvesen ranges.
