In 1983 the Royal Mint issued its first ever non gold Pound Coin. Before that a pound coin was Gold and called a Sovereign. The design was used to represent all four constituent parts of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.

They issued a Special Mint Set which, for the first time, contained this pound coin. It also contains the 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p and 1/2p.

The set comes in a full colour bubble pack but more importantly, three of the coins were not struck for circulation. They are the 2p, 5p and 10p. All of the coins are in Specimen Uncirculated condition which is as close to Proof as you can get.

12 Different Euro Countries 1 Cent Coins (12)

Back in 2002 12 European countries took the historic step of dropping their own currencies and introducing a single currency, which we now know as the euro. Although all of them issued the full set of 8 coins in the early years, it was not long before several took the decision to phase out the 1 and 2 cent coins and adopt a policy of rounding up or down to the nearest 5 cents. As with all euro coins, there is a common reverse side showing a globe with a map of Europe, but the obverse is reserved for national symbols. All these coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and many are not easy to find at all let alone in this grade.
