2008 One Pound Coin 25th Anniversary Gold Proof Collection
Product Gallery
On 21 April 1983, the very first decimal £1 coin entered circulation. By this time, the purchasing power of our money had diminished significantly and the average life of a paper £1 note was no more than 9 months and the £1 coin was introduced to solve this.
On 11 March 1988 the decimal £1 note finally ceased to be legal tender.
In 2008, to celebrate 25 years of the modern £1 coin, The Royal Mint issued this 25th Anniversary Gold Proof Collection, featuring all 14 reverse designs of the One Pound coin.
All 14 coins are struck to proof quality in 22 carat gold and are dated 2008. The obverse carries the portrait of The Queen by Ian Rank Broadley.
The 25th Anniversay Gold Proof Collection features the following designs:
The Royal Arms
- The Royal Arms with supporters by Eric Sewell
- The Crowned Shield of the Royal Arms by Derek Gorringe
Floral Series by Leslie Durbin
- Scotland: The thisle, floral emblem of Scotland encircled by the Royal Diadem
- Wales: The leek as a floral emblem of Wales encircled by the Royal Diadem

We are always proud to show off our previous customers experiences with you and what they thought of our purchasing through with Britannia Coins.
Easy to use website. Fast and easy checkout. And items dispatch next business day with tracking. Only thing is coins sometimes are not up to snuff and have marks or spots Etc. BCC does quality checks but can be improved.

Buon giorno. Avete un negozio online ben fornito e di facile utilizzo. L'imballaggio del prodotto è stato ottimo. Ho solo un reclamo da fare ! Ho provato a chiamare presso op vostro negozio più volte senza avere nessuna risposta , ho usato anche il vostro contatto watzap ma anche in questo caso non ho avuto risposta. Vi ho contattato a luglio e agosto per sapere se erano previste le spese doganali,in fine ho acquistato senza sapere ....

Very easy to use website I think you enter the website and there's the latest "live metal prices" with an "Enter Search Item" bar at the top of the page. I like the fact it has the search feature as the home page. When you search for the item(s) it quickly shows the results, along with images of the coins or coin sets. I like that, too. The only downside with these types of businesses, is that you can't get to see a close up image of the coin and/or coin set you are buying. I feel that, because this company buys coins from collectors, etc. that they will have several items that are the same, but in varying degrees of quality and condition, and then, when your buying a 2nd hand item, it's going to be a case of pot luck on what you're going to get. And so, if it was possible, I'd love for BCC to get images of each item that you're going to buy. This is so you know what you're getting before you buy it. That said, every item I've bought from BCC has been of a very nice quality. Two of the coins were of a staggering high quality and the two sets I bought were much better than the average coin sets from eBay. I would say that BCC are the best company in the UK when it comes to used and brand new coins and coin sets. Not only that, the speed at which they get your order processed and delivered to your door is very very fast. The packaging is also on point and highly professional. Also, and one of the most important things, I really trust the Britannia Coin Company. Their prices are very fair and their items are clean and in good condition. They also have a good standing within the coin community.

I was amazed at the communication from when my order was initiated and being kept in the loop as to the progress. All transactions were good and amazed at how quick my parcel was shipped out and received the following day! Due to excellent customer service I have not hesitated recommending to others.
