First EVER UK 1971 Royal Mint Decimal Proof Set

In 1971, the UK switched their currency from the old system of pound and shillings (£sd) to the new decimal system of pounds and pence.

And today, you can own the FIRST Decimalised 1971 Royal Mint Annual Proof set, featuring the flawless proof versions of the coins issued for circulation that year.

Here's why you need it for your collection:

• This is the FIRST EVER decimal annual proof set, featuring the first decimal coins issued for circulation.
• Rare opportunity to commemorate the biggest numismatic change in history - these sets rarely appear on the secondary market
• Includes six of the first decimalised coins issued for circulation, including the new 5 and 10 pence coins and the collectors’ favourite – the 50p.
• Each coin is struck to the Royal Mint’s highest standard Proof finish, ensuring a clearer and finer design than the coins that you would find in your change.
• Highly sought after by collectors

Proof sets represent the pinnacle of the Royal Mint’s craftsmanship, and considering this is the first decimalised collection, only a limited number available
