2001-2002 United Kingdom Silver Proof Two Coin Set, Coin Set from United Kingdom - detailed information

2001-2002 United Kingdom Silver Proof Two Coin Set
Set Name2001-2002 United Kingdom Silver Proof Two Coin Set

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.

Notes

The set was issued in a blue leatherette box, with the coins individually encapsulated, and with a separate Certificate of Authenticity for each coin.

People who purchased the set were given the option to also purchase an earlier set (with the one-pound coins representing Scotland and Wales) in a four-coin box. Consequently, some part of the mintage of this set is housed in an original four-coin box housing two sets.
