2008 Last of the Old Emblems of Britain Silver Proof 7 Coin Set Box Coa

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 1p One Pence to the £1 One Pound, reflecting a more modern twenty-first century Britain.
To mark this watershed in numismatic history, and to commemorate the reverse designs that have served Britain well for almost 40 years, the Royal Mint is producing a limited-edition Silver Proof 7 Coin Collection all struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
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.

• Limited Mintage of 10,000 Worldwide
• Finished to Royal Mint's Proof Quality in Solid .925 Sterling Silver
• Celebrating the last of the Old Emblems of Britain
• Boxed with Certificate of Authenticity
