2011 UK PROOF COIN SET – ROYAL MINT

The 2011 United Kingdom Proof Coin Set — a superb Royal Mint proof collection capturing Britain’s circulating coinage and key commemorative themes of the year. Struck to the highest proof standard, each coin displays frosted devices and mirror‑polished fields, showcasing the Royal Mint’s craftsmanship during the late Elizabeth II era.

The set includes all circulating denominations from 1p to £2 featuring the traditional definitive designs, along with three major commemorative issues:

Commemorative Coins Included

• £2 – 400th Anniversary of the King James Bible (1611–2011) Featuring the “Holy Bible” inscription and decorative typography.
• 50p – WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) A highly popular design incorporating 50 environmental and wildlife icons.
• £1 – Edinburgh & Cardiff (Capital Cities Series) The final coin in the heraldic £1 “Cities” series, depicting the Edinburgh and Cardiff Coat of Arms.

These commemoratives sit alongside the classic definitive designs, making the 2011 proof set one of the most desirable modern releases.
