2010 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Set (Definitive)

In 2010, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Royal Definitive Brilliant Uncirculated 8 Coin Collection of the new designs for the Coinage of the United Kingdom, giving collectors the opportunity to own a piece of numismatic history.

Familiar designs that have served us well for almost 40 years will be replaced by a new set of designs, contemporary in treatment, yet grounded in the traditions of the coinage.  Now, in a new age, the time has come to rejuvenate the coinage by seeking designs that treat traditional symbols in an innovative and modern way.

The series that has been chosen brings new life to the coinage and, like the decimal designs 40 years ago, draws inspiration from the very fabric of British history.

The obverse design is a portrait of Her Majesty, The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley and is shared by each coin in the collection.  This first appeared on the circulating coinage of the UK in 1998.

Collection includes - £2; £1; 50p; 20p; 10p; 5p; 2p and 1p.

They are also packaged in a colourful attractive and informative folder.
