The 1995 Gold Proof Britannia Collection 4 Coin Set
This 4-Coin Britannia set features 4 22-carat/0.916 fine gold coins displayed in its own presentation case and its own certificate of authenticity.
Gold Britannias were first issued in 1987, including proofs. Britannia proof sets have been issued every year since 1987. This year's set contains a gold plated medallion with "Elizabeth R" and the date topped by a large crown, while the reverse design is a pig, the Chinese lunar calendar symbol of the year.
Gold bullion Britannia coins are the UK's most popular CGT exempt 1oz gold coin.Introduced by The Royal Mint in 1987, these British gold bullion coins have a face value of £100. Between 1987 - 2012, the coins were struck in 22 carat gold, from 2013 onwards, the coins have been struck in 24 carat gold. The coins all contain one troy ounce of gold, whether they are struck in 22 carat gold (0.917) or 24 carat gold (0.9999). We actually prefer the earlier dated coins as the quality of the striking is far superior to more recent issues.
From 1990, the mintage for the 4 coin proof sets has been very low. For the patient collector, many of the older sets which we offer represent a very good deal as they are at considerable savings when compared with purchasing the current year's set direct from The Royal Mint.
The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II and is inscribed:
ELIZABETH II • DEI • GRATIA • REGINA • F • D • 100 POUNDS
The reverse features Philip Nathan's iconic design of a standing Lady Britannia holding her shield and trident.
