The "Definitive" set is a sub-set of the standard ("Annual") United Kingdom Brilliant Uncirculated mint set of the year, including only the regular circulating denominations.
It contains the definitive £2 (Four Nations type), the definitive £1 of the "Bees" type, and the smaller denominations from 50p down to 1p.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth, who ruled for more than 70 years, her son King Charles III ascended the throne.on 8 September 2022. Following the many precedents of new coinage types introduced for new monarchs, the Royal Mint re-designed all circulating denominations to mark his reign. The designs depict plants and wildlife, reflecting the monarch's interest in conservation and nature.
This is the first release of the reverse designs in "regular" coinage. They were introduced in October 2023 in a special set with a privy marks on the obverse. |
