Collectable silver proof 1989 Claim of Right £2 coin from The Royal Mint. This coin was issued to mark the 300th anniversary of the Claim of Right 1689, a foundational document of UK and Scottish constitutional law. The Claim asserted parliamentary power by decreeing a Protestant succession, with the crown of Scotland offered to William and Mary in preference to James VII and II in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution. The UK's national mint issued this coin alongside a partner piece celebrating the tercentenary of the English Bill of Rights. The reverse design here is by John Lobban and shows a parliamentary mace with a Scottish crown above and the anniversary dates below. Struck in solid .925 sterling silver, this is a desirable piece, available in the scarce individual presentation case with a numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed.
