The History of the Rugby World Cup Coin and Stamp Collection

Perhaps more than any other items, coins and stamps have helped preserve the rich history and heritage of our nation.

And today, you can secure both to preserve the legacy of the Rugby World Cup.

20 years ago in 2003, England marked a historical feat for Rugby as they won the World Cup.

To celebrate, Royal Mail issued a victorious miniature sheet to mark the event, and it can now be yours alongside two sought-after coins:

  • Features The Royal Mint’s 1999 Rugby Silver Proof £2 – issued to celebrate the 4th Rugby World Cup
  • Also includes the scarce 1987 Silver Piedfort England £1 – struck in the year of the first ever Rugby World Cup
  • Both coins are struck from Sterling Silver and enhanced with a stunning Proof finish
  • BOTH COINS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AT THE ROYAL MINT

Considering neither are available to buy from The Mint, only 31 collections are available. So this could be your last chance…
