Proof coins are amongst the finest commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint. Made with the highest care and consideration, their Gold Proof coins feature a sharpness of detail like no other. The dies used to strike Proof coins are hand-finished to ensure that all imperfections are removed. Blanks are fed into the coin press by hand before being struck up to six times, at a lower speed and with less pressure than other finishes, to preserve the finer details of the design.
Coin housed in its original Royal Mint storage box.
