Elizabeth II, 1990 Royal Mint Brilliant Unc Mint Set

1994 was a year to remember, The Channel Tunnel was officially opened by the Queen and the French President, Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa, classic films such as Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump were then released. The year also marked the 300th anniversary of the Bank of England. In 1994 The Royal Mint also issued its usual Mint Set of coins in Specimen Uncirculated. We have a small group where the outer folder is a bit worn, but the coins inside are perfect. You get 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p not issued for regular usage, 20p, 50p 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, £1 Scottish and £2 300th anniversary of the Bank of England. Some of these coins are tough to get especially in Specimen Uncirculated condition...

Every three weeks we publish a free newspaper-style publication full of amazing items and offers.

Fantastic Collection of the last 5 Crowns Ever In 1981 the Royal Mint issued its last British Crown ever. They are issuing crown-sized coins today, but they have a nominal face value of £5 and they are certainly NOT crowns. The last Five Crowns ever were, Churchill Crown 1965, Silver Wedding Crown 1972, Silver Jubilee Crown 1977, Queen Mother’s 80th Birthday Crown and Charles & Diana’s Wedding Crown 1981. Remember the first crown-sized coin of five shillings was issued in 1551 by King Edward VI and the last one was in 1981. We have had a fantastic package made to display the last five crowns and it is exclusive to Coincraft. These sets make excellent gifts for family, friends and business associates. One marketing company is selling the 1977 Crown on its own for £9.95, so our price of just £24.95 for all five crowns is very reasonable.
