2000 British Royal Mint Coin Sets

|
We have the uncirculated sets, standard proof sets, and de-luxe proof sets in stock now for immediate delivery, we even have some of the executive proof sets which are sold out at the Royal Mint. Most of these coins are no longer available from the Royal Mint.
Royal Mint Modern Issues
Each year since 1970, the Royal Mint has produced special editions of coin sets
for collectors, which are also ideal as gifts.
Year 2000 Coin Sets
For more information about the individual coin designs and specifications, or for a history of the Royal Mint taken from the packaging of the Uncirculated set, please look at our 2000 Coins Specifications page.
There are four variations of the 2000 coin sets available:
-
Nine Coin Uncirculated Set
Contains the eight circulating coins, from the Two Pounds down to the Penny, plus the extra Fifty Pence, but please note they do not contain the Crown.
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.
-
Ten Coin Proof Sets
"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.
This years proof sets contain:
The new Year 2000 Millennium Five Pounds Crown
The special Fifty Pence Coin to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Public Libraries Act of 1850.
The Welsh Dragon pound coin.
The other seven circulating coins, £2, 50 pence, 20 pence, 10 pence, 5 pence, 2
pence, and 1 penny.
-
Standard Proof Set
All superbly packaged in a newly designed plastic case, and housed within
an attractive wallet.
-
De-Luxe Proof Set
As the above Proof Set, but with a booklet, and housed in a completely redesigned presentation pack.
The presentation of the deluxe set is rather clever. The coins themselves are housed in plastic pack which is mounted in an outer frame. The coin set can be rotated within the frame so that either side of the coins can be viewed.
The frame features its own built in retractable stand, so that it can stand freely by itself on a shelf, mantelpiece, cabinet or desk. It also has a ready made "keyhole" slot at the top back, so that it can be hung on a wall.
Below the coins there is a space to accept one of a number of pre-printed cards, all of which are headed:-
"UNITED KINGDOM DELUXE PROOF COIN COLLECTION"
-
Executive Proof Set
As the above Proof Sets, but with a booklet, and housed in a completely redesigned presentation pack, with space for personal mementoes.
The executive proof set sold out at the Royal Mint without ever going on open sale.
-
Millennium Proof Silver Collection
Contains all nine denominations, from £5 Crown down to Penny, as above but with only the definitive version of the Fifty Pence, so no Library Commemorative version, complete with the four Maundy coins, fourpence, threepence, twopence and penny. All in proof finish.
Complete in impressive royal blue velvet covered case.
