1985 British Royal Mint Coin Sets

Obverse of the 1985 Royal Mint Proof Set

Reverse of 1985 Royal Mint Proof Set

Each year since 1970, the Royal Mint has produced special editions of coin sets for collectors, which are also ideal as gifts. We have a few of the 1985 United Kingdom coin sets, produced by the Royal Mint.

There are three variations of the 1985 coin sets available:-

• Seven 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.
  1985 proof sets contain:
  Welsh design of one pound coin, featuring a leek plant within a Royal diadem.
  The other six circulating coins, 50 pence, 20 pence, 10 pence, 5 pence, 2 pence, and 1 penny.
  All superbly packaged in a specially designed plastic case, and housed within an attractive blue leatherette wallet.
• Seven Coin De-Luxe Proof Set
  As the above Proof Set, but housed in a luxurious red leather wallet.
• Seven Coin Uncirculated Set
  Contains the same seven coins as the proof sets, from the Pound down to the Penny.
  Although not struck to the same standards as the proof coins, these coins are also specially examined and selected before packaging. They are all superior to the mass produced coins which are made for circulation because of the absence of bag marks and scratches.
  They are also packaged in a colourful attractive and informative folder.
