2015 UK Definitive Jody Clark Fifth Portrait Proof Annual 18 Coin Set
Definitive UK 2015 proof annual set featuring the new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. This was the fifth and last profile of the Queen to appear on her coinage and shows her wearing the George IV State Diadem. When his design was chosen, Clark became the youngest artist to create a coin effigy of Elizabeth II and the first Royal Mint designer to win such a competition in centuries. 2015 also saw several changes to the other side of UK coins. The jigsaw-like royal shield of arms shield design shown across the 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins was seen on British coins struck from 2008 to 2015 making this its final appearance in a UK annual set. The image of Britannia that graces the reverse of the £2 piece was also introduced in this year. Britannia has been a feature on British coins for centuries, but this was he first appearance on a Two Pound coin. These definitive-only sets come in an attractive, embossed black leather folio containing a hardback, velvet-lined wallet with a sleeve for an information booklet and a certificate of authenticity.
