As struck with a superb choice tone, a truly superior original set.

*It is thought that this set would have been specially ordered to be gifted to VIP’S/ dignitaries from the Bank of England. 

**With a mintage of only 2,243 sets which is over 500 less than the full "long" gold five pounds – penny proof set. 
These original short silver sets housed in the original plush box are becoming rare within the numismatic market, especially the original matching sets such as this.
