Obverse
The obverse of all eight coins shows the badge or logo of The Birmingham Mint, a moneyer about to strike a coin by hand hammering, with a balance scale behind, a cameo head to the right, and a scroll in front reading H 1794 KN
Reverse
The reverse of all eight coins shows a design superficially the same as that on the regular euro coins, except for slight differences. The word "specimen" is stamped on each, and the map design is slightly different in a number of places. We do recall that there was considerable debate about the precise designs before the final definitive designs were chosen. The reverse designs on this set are presumably based on an earlier interim version.
Value
An accurate value for this sort of coin set is difficult is determine.
Although it has no legal tender status, the mintage figure is very low, certainly compared with the highly valuable 2002 Vatican euro mint set. We have fixed a price for our copy of this set based on the price we paid, however we may well regret this price if they subsequently start selling for 10 times our price.
These sets are undoubtedly an important part of the euro's history.
