This is a gorgeous 1987 Britannia gold proof four-coin box set. This impressive set features 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz. and 1/10 ounce pure gold proof coins with face values of £100, £50, £25, and £10 respectively. This beautiful set was the first 4-coin gold proof set issued by the British Royal Mint. Only 10,000 sets were originally minted with an issue price of £1,050 (about US$1,650)! The set offered here is priced at more than 40% off the original issue price!

The stunning design, by award-winning sculptor Philip Nathan, depicts Britannia standing proudly, trident in hand. Britannia's image is steeped in history, having been featured on a coin of every British monarch since the reign of Charles II. The 1987 Britannia is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful gold coin designs of all time.

This set also includes the original British Royal Mint packaging: a beautiful velvet lined presentation case, coin capsules, and certificate of authenticity with serial number 02988. This set would make a wonderful addition to any coin collection - absolutely gorgeous!!
