2008 marks a huge historic change for Britain's coinage, this is the year Britain's coin designs will change for the first time in almost 40 years!
In 1971, Britain embarked upon decimalisation and changed the appearance of our coinage forever. Now, nearly 40 years on, those designs chosen to feature on our coins after four decades will never be struck for general circulation ever again.
To mark this historic occasion we can offer you the opportunity to own an Exclusive Commemorative Coin Cover, featuring coins designs ranging from the 50p down to the penny. A total of six original coins. These six coins are presented together with a Royal Mail first class definitive stamp, postmarked on anniversary date of original decimalisation, set upon a cachet design.
EDITION LIMIT JUST 4,950
Only 4,950 collectors will be lucky enough to be able to own this historic Commemorative Coin Cover - remember, after 2008 these coin designs will never be struck for general circulation. With a such a small edition limit the magnificent Commemorative Coin Cover is the perfect way to celebrate the Farewell to Classic Coinage in style.
