In 1989, the Royal Mint is commemorating the Tercentenary of the Bill of Rights and the Claim of Right, with a special Limited Issue £2 Two Pound Silver Proof 2 Coin Set both struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
This two coin set contains both the Bill of Rights and the Claim of Right Silver Proof £2 coins.
The reverse of the Bill of Rights and Claim of Right has been designed by John Lobbam, who in preparing his designs has used the symbols of the main participants in the event of 1689.
The Bill of Rights design features a parliamentary mace interlinked with the cypher of William and Mary, with St Edward's Crown positioned above and the dates 1689 and 1989 below.
On the Claim of Right reverse, Mr Lobban has used the Crown of Scotland in place of St Edward's Crown.
The obverse of both coins features Raphael Maklouf's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
