In 2011 the Royal Mint released a special Limited Issue Silver Proof 6 Coin Collection.
Included in this set is the new £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin which commemorates the 90th Birthday of Prince Philip, the two new £2 Two Pound Silver Proof Coins commemorating the 500th Anniversary of Mary Rose and 400th Anniversary of King James Bible, two new £1 One Pound Silver Proof Coins commemorating the Cities of the United Kingdom Cardiff and Edinburgh and the 50p Fifty Pence Silver Proof Coin commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the WWF World Wildlife Fund.
The obverse design of each coin has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
