Context
The standard weight of these coins was 10/11 troy ounce (436.4 grains). Generally struck late in the year according to demand and intended to be purchased as Christmas gifts, they did not circulate well, due to the low mintage. Proofs for all dates exist but are extremely rare, with no known mintage figures, as they were for V.I.P issue. This coin was not included in demonetization legislation when decimalization was introduced in 1971. It has been confirmed by the Royal Mint that the coin remains legal tender, having been remonetized with a value of 25 pence.
