Context

The 2008 strike was released as part of the changeover from the Emblems of Britain to the Royal Shield design. The coin was also struck in copper-nickel, silver piedfort, gold proof and platinum proof. Issue limit: 10,000. © The Royal Mint, 2008 In 2012 for the Queens Diamond Jubilee most coins were selectively plated with Gold and so this silver proof edition was limited. The 2015 strike was issued as part of the dual set to commemorate the change from the fourth portrait to the fifth and was also struck in copper-nickel, gold proof and platinum proof. © The Royal Mint, 2015 2008 Proof issue limit: 10,000 2009 Proof Issue Limit: 7,500 2010 Proof Issue Limit: 3,500 2011 Proof Issue Limit: 2,500 2012 Proof Issue Limit: 995 2013 Proof Issue Limit: 2,013 2014 Proof Issue Limit: 2,014 2015 Proof Issue Limit: 7,500 (former Spink ref. 4711)
