• - Sterling silver coins each coin contains 8.7 grammes of pure silver
• - Each coin struck to impeccable Proof standard

The Royal Shield
In 1988 a further £1 coin representing the United Kingdom was struck, Derek Gorringe's design featured a fine depiction of the Royal Arms within a shield divided into four parts.

The Floral Series
The first series, designed by the distinguished silversmith Leslie Durbin, depicted stylised floral emblems relating to the four home nations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The Heraldic Series
The reverse designs for the second series of four £1 coins were modelled by the acclaimed sculptor and experienced numismatic artist Norman Sillman. The theme was mainly heraldic.

The Bridge Series
The Bridge series of reverse designs was conceived by wood engraver Edwina Ellis. She was invited to take part in a limited competition and, abandoning the more traditional heraldic approach, she chose designs representing Britain's Industrial Heritage.

The Obverse Design
The obverse of each coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of the Queen, the 2008 year date on all coins and the edge inscription 'Elizabeth.II.D.G REG.F.D'

Superb Presentations
The set is housed in a high quality black display case with a black velour display tray and smooth lid. The case lid stores the accompanying informative booklet which incorporates a Certificate of Authenticity.
