This two-coin set contains the 2001 and 2002 dated versions of the United Kingdom's premier coin.
To endorse their unique character, the polished field and frosted image normally associated with Royal Mint Proof Coins has been reserved (what later became called a "reverse proof", and is listed in catalogues as coins with "reverse frosting").
Based on the series of £1 One Pound Silver Coin reverse designs that honour the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom, the two coins represent Northern Ireland and England. |
