The Coins of the United Kingom 2011

Earlier this week I got my very first "2011" coins. The Royal Mint has already sent me next year's circulation coins, plus commems (1 x 50p, 2 x £1, 2 x £2, 1 x £5). Cannot complain about the cost either: Shipping was £2.95 (UK to DE), and I got a £3.50 discount. Maybe for orderling online, don't know ...

recived my set from the mint today, in my opinion it is the best proff set that the UK has ever produced. especially the 50p.

 

Can you who have received them post pics?

 

Which set did you guys order? I only ordered the standard proof set. I couldn't see any difference between it and the others, other than the case that is.

 

you are correct, all the coins are minted the same way but you have to pay a large premium for the packaging,

 

While reading the booklet that came with the 2011 Proof Set I recognised the name of the designer of the WWF 50p (Matthew Dent) but couldn't recall where from.
Today my brother and I were going through some of my coin sets and I picked up a 2008 Shield Collection folder and inside was a picture... of Matthew Dent.

As I said before the WWF 50 Pence I love, Matthew Dent hits another winner. I am looking forward to possibly seeing more coins from him in the future.

 

I like Edinburgh pound. Very nice design, almost perfect!
