1970 Proof 8-Coin UK Pre-Decimal Annual Set
The 1970 Proof Set is the first modern Royal Mint proof set and the last to offer pre-decimal UK coins. This annual set for the year 1970 features eight then-current base metal pre-decimal coins. In the following year, UK currency was formally decimalised and these denominations were gradually pulled from circulation. This set, therefore, represents a key moment in British numismatic history and is a great way to learn about old money. More importantly, none of these coins were struck for circulation, so if you collect dates this is the only way to acquire 1970 issues. Included in this set is a Halfcrown, a Florin, an English Shilling, a Scottish Shilling, a Sixpence, a Threepence, a Penny and a Halfpenny, all dated 1970. A special rectangular medallion accompanies the set. These base metal coins enjoy a proof quality and are supplied in the original presentation packaging from The Royal Mint. This pre-owned set is primed to begin, or complete, your collection of UK yearly issues. System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String] System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
