1999 £5 Note and Millennium Crown Set

The Royal Mint and Bank of England Five Pounds and Millennium Crown Set

The £5 note is of the current series in issue as of 1999 and shows the cypher YR19 99 and a serial number between 0501 and 1500.  The Bank of England issued this special cypher to mark the end of the millennium.  YR19 99 will not be produced for general circulation.

The new crown of 1999 celebrates the new millennium.  The focal point of the design bears a representation of the British Isles with a pair of clock hands, pivoted on Greenwich and set at the crucial twelve o'clock position, with the important millennium dates of 1999 and 2000 incorporated either side and is struck in Brilliant Uncirculated quality.

The set is beautifully presented in the original Royal Mint sleeve, accompanied with a Certificate of Authenticity and information booklet.
