Five Pence, 2008, Thistle Reverse, Silver Proof

In 2008, the Royal Mint introduced new reverse designs on our coinage. One of the coins being replaced was the small-sized Five Pence which had, since its introduction in 1968 when it replaced the Shilling, borne the distinctive crowned thistle design on the reverse, the badge of Scotland. To mark the final use of this design on the Five Pence coin, the Royal Mint struck some in silver proof and it is these special coins that we off er you here, but we have a limited number available, supplied in protective capsules.
