This Two coin set includes 2 big ben proof coin with a mintage of 800pc only. Since at least 1282 the coins stuck by the Royal Mint have been independently and rigorously checked to determine their quality and fineness. This judicial ceremony was known as the Trial of the Pyx and today, more than 700 years later, it still takes place. Every year an independent jury, sworn in by The Queen's Remembrancer, ascertains whether the coins made by the Royal Mint are of the correct weight, diameter and composition required by law. This means that you can be assured that the coins in your possession are of the highest quality.
