1989 British Royal Mint Coin Sets

There are three variations of the 1989 coin sets available:-

• Nine 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.
  1989 proof sets contain:
  Two similar, but different Two Pound coins. They commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Bill of Rights (English version), and the Claim of Right (Scottish version).
  Scottish design of one pound coin, with a thistle 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.
• Nine Coin De-Luxe Proof Set
  As the above Proof Set, but with housed in a luxurious red leather wallet.
• Seven Coin Uncirculated Set
  Contains the seven circulating coins, from the Pound down to the Penny. The uncirculated set does not contain the two £2 coins.
  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.
