In 2004, to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Entente Cordiale between the United Kingdom and France, the Royal Mint released a very special Limited Issue Entente Cordiale Silver Proof 2 Coin Set which includes a United Kingdom £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin and French 1.5 Euro Silver Proof Coin.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
