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 1990
United Kingdom coin sets, produced by the Royal Mint.
Overseas residents, please ask for details of postage & packing.
There are three variations of the 1990 coin sets available.
Please note that none of the sets include the Five Pound Crown coin which was introduced this year. It is only available separately:-
-
Eight 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.
1990 proof sets contain:
Welsh design of one pound coin, with a leek plant within a royal diadem.
New, smaller diameter five pence in addition to the older larger diameter five pence.
The other five circulating coins, 50 pence, 20 pence, 10 pence, 2
pence, and 1 penny.
All superbly packaged in a specially designed plastic case, and housed within
an attractive blue leatherette wallet.
-
Eight Coin De-Luxe Proof Set
As the above Proof Set, but with housed in a
luxurious red leather wallet.
-
Eight Coin Uncirculated Set
Contains the eight circulating coins, 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.
