1984 1987 £1 Silver Proof Coin Collection Royal Mint Set BOX + COA

United Kingdom £1 Silver Proof Collection. By Royal Proclamation of 22nd June 1983, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II authorised four new designs for the reverse of the one-pound coin. The four designs, adopted in turn for the years 1984 – 1987, represent Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. To commemorate this significant occasion in the history of the United Kingdom coinage, the Royal Mint has issued 50,000 proof coins in silver of each design. Within this issue limit, a number have been reserved for inclusion in this four coin collection case. The reverse designs, all including the Royal Diadem, show a thistle for Scotland, a leek for Wales, a flax plant for Northern Ireland and an oak tree for England. These are the work of the distinguished silversmith, Leslie Durbin. The obverse of the Scottish coin bears the Arnold Machin portrait of The Queen, while the new effigy by Raphael Maklouf appears on the other three coins. GRADE: Silver Proof Choice FDC as issued by the Royal Mint, with Certificate.
