The official UK issue with scarcely-seen commemorative Newspaper Book
Issued in 2021 to mark the 50th anniversary of Decimal Day, this is one of the most exclusive and remarkable ways to own the official UK Silver Proof 50p.
That coin was limited to 6,710, but just 495 were set aside for this exclusive UK Silver Coin Cover.
The cover carries Royal Mail’s 1st class definitive decimal stamp alongside a lilac Wilding pre-decimal stamp and datestamped on the 50th anniversary of Decimal Day - 15 February 2021.
These stamps are presented alongside the official UK 2021 Decimal Day Silver Proof 50p in the stunning cover.
What sets this issue apart is the rare addition The Royal Mint made to it.
They developed and released an official Royal Mint Newspaper Book as the ultimate keepsake to relive the ground-breaking change that Decimal Day brought to our nation.
Bound in premium black hard back leather with a gold embossed cover, it features a comprehensive collection of newspaper articles covering the major events before, during and after Decimal Day, leaving no stone unturned.
These official Newspaper Books are rarely issued and have become a collecting area in their own right.
Couple that with a stunning UK Silver Proof 50p that is no longer available at the Mint and you have one of the most collectable UK issues you could hope to find.
