Obverse of 1980 Queen Mother's 80th Birthday Crown It Was Not Issued in the Proof Set

Reverse of 1980 Queen Mother's 80th Birthday Crown

Six Coin Proof Set
"Proof" coins are specially struck with great care and attention. The dies are highly polished on the flat surfaces, with a frosted finish on the design, the blanks from which the coins are struck are also polished before striking (minting), so that the finished coins show their designs to the absolutely best effect. The raised relief parts of the design have a frosted finish, and stand out from the background (field) which has a mirror finish. Each coin is carefully inspected prior to packaging, and is guaranteed to be perfect and without any blemish.
Please note that most proof sets of this year will have some degree of surface "toning" or "tarnish".

1980 Proof Sets Contain:
The six circulating coins, 50 new pence, 10 new pence, 5 new pence, 2 new pence, 1 new penny, and half new penny.
All attractively packaged in a specially designed plastic case.
