2008 Royal Shield of Arms Brilliant Uncirculated 7 Coin Set
In 2008, the Royal Mint released, for the first time, a Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Collection featuring new designs for the Coinage of the United Kingdom, allowing collectors to own a piece of numismatic history.
Familiar designs that have served us well for almost 40 years will be replaced by a new set of designs, contemporary in treatment, yet grounded in the traditions of the coinage.
Now, in a new age, the time has come to rejuvenate the coinage by seeking designs that treat traditional symbols in an innovative and modern way.
The series that has been chosen brings new life to the coinage and, like the decimal designs 40 years ago, draws inspiration from the very fabric of British history.
The obverse design features a portrait of Her Majesty, The Queen, by Ian Rank Broadley.
