An uncirculated set, from the unusual sand blasted dies, some minor contact marks/hairlines on a few of the coins, as often the case with these ‘Matt finishes’, the reverse of the Gold Proof Five Pounds having a hair-line mark above St George’s head, otherwise a pleasing set, the gold with a good amount of lustre, the silver with similar matching tones and iridescence. 

*With a mintage of only 8,066 sets. This year is the only time a matt finish set has ever been produced thus far for a Coronation. The engraver was George William De Saulles who also produced Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Royal Mint medallions of 1897 with the same matt finish.
