In 2008 for the last time ever, the Royal Mint have released a Limited Issue Emblems of Britain Platinum Proof 7 Coin Set all struck in solid fine .999 Platinum to mark this watershed in numismatic history and to commemorate the reverse designs that have served Britain well for almost 40 years.
For the first time since decimalisation, the legal tender coins of the United Kingdom will undergo a major design change. In the late Spring of 2008, the Nation will see new designs on the coinage, from the £1 to the 1p, reflecting a more modern 21st Century Britain. The obverse of all the coins, designed by Ian Rank Broadley, is the stunning portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
