The commemorative set marks the 75th Birthday of King Charles III, and is part of a range of "historical" sets issued by the Royal Mint which contain newly minted coins and old coins. The old coins in this set represent all the regular circulating (pre-decimal) denominations from a farthing up to a half crown issued in 1948, the year that the monarch was born.
The crown-sized £5 (five pound) coin included in the set was issued specifically for the occasion of the birthday and is in Brilliant Uncirculated grade. The old coins are circulated, in at least "fine" grade. |
