1998 UK Brilliant Uncirculated Annual Coin Collection Set
The 1998 UK brilliant uncirculated coin set marks a notable change to UK coins. In the year that a new nation was etched onto the FIFA World Cup, a new portrait was introduced to UK coinage. These nine base metal coins are among the first to feature an obverse bearing Elizabeth II's fourth effigy, by acclaimed sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. Alongside an early bimetallic £2 is a definitive 1998 £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p, and 1p. Finally, a special commemorative 50 Pence is included which celebrated the UK's 25th year in the European Economic Community. These limited sets are enjoyed by collectors due to the uncirculated nature of the coins. The Royal Mint's 'brilliant uncirculated' finish, present in this 1998 set, means each coin is produced to a fine standard using hand-finished dies. Marking a historic shift in British coinage, the set is also a great 1998 birthday gift. System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String] System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
