Elizabeth II, 1977 Royal Mint Proof Set

In 1977 H. M. Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Silver Jubilee 1952-1977. The last time a Monarch had done that was her Grandfather (George V) in 1935. The Royal Mint issued only its second Decimal Proof Set to contain a crown or Twenty-Five Pence. This beautiful design took her Coronation issue and modernized the design, still showing the Queen on horseback. It was issued in Uncirculated cupro-nickel for circulation and Sterling Silver for collectors. But most collectors forget the Proof cupro-nickel crown in the Silver Jubilee Proof Set. Each set includes the 1/2p, 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 50p and Crown or 25p. Each coin is in Proof condition in the Offi cial Royal Mint case of issue.
