2007 UK Piedfort Silver Proof Annual Five Coin Set
On the lookout for a 2007 present idea? This Royal Mint piedfort silver proof five coin collection issued in 2007 is the perfect gift option for coin collectors. No official edition limits are known for this particular collection, but no more than 5,000 will be available given the lowest issue limit coin in the set. Featuring five one-off designs only used in 2007, the headline piece is the Five Pound coin celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's and Prince Philip's Diamond Wedding anniversary. Next are a pair of special Two Pound coins, marking two momentous occasions in history: the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union between England and Scotland. The last two UK coins are the Millennium Bridge One Pound and the Scouts 50 Pence. A variety of Royal Mint artists and engravers are responsible for these designs, namely Kerry Jones, Emma Noble, David Gentleman, Yvonne Holton and Edwina Ellis. They're struck using piedfort blanks, which is literal French for 'heavy foot', but the phrase is now used in numismatics to heavy coins which are usually double the thickness and weight of ordinary coinage. All these coins have Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, which is the fourth official British coin effigy of the monarch. The coins are housed in a black presentation box, which has the classic branding of The Royal Mint. Using hand-polished dies, the sterling silver coins are struck up to six times to give a vastly superior finish compared to ordinary circulation pieces. Included is a detailed information booklet and the set's original numbered certificate of authenticity. Free UK delivery is included in our price, and we can offer a very competitive flat shipping fee for customers based internationally.
