1999 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Set

LAST COINS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

On offer is the totally uncirculated year 1999 coin collection containing as issued for circulation by the Royal Mint.

With decimalisation, the denominations, designs and specifications of every coin came under review.  Yet many hsitoric links with the past remain to be enjoyed, like the survival of the ancient figure of Britannia and especially, perhaps, the very names "pound" and "penny".

As we approached the end of the century the coinage has, in a sense, come full circule in that coins of £1, though not made of gold, are again in daily yse.  But now it is er Majesty the Queen who appears on every coin in circulation.

The set contains 8 coins as follows: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 coin for Scotland and £2 Rugby World Cup edition.

A must have for the collector of year sets.
