The 1989 Royal Mint Deluxe UK Proof Coin Collection is one of the most desirable annual proof sets produced by The Royal Mint during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Presented in an official fitted presentation case with certificate of authenticity, the set contains beautifully struck proof versions of the year’s circulating coinage together with two commemorative £2 coins marking the Tercentenary of the Bill of Rights and the Scottish Claim of Right.
Each coin was struck to the Royal Mint’s highest proof standard using specially prepared dies and polished blanks, resulting in exceptional detail, frosted designs, and mirror-like fields. The collection showcases the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint and provides a complete snapshot of British coinage as it appeared in 1989.
Particularly sought after are the two commemorative £2 pieces. The Bill of Rights and Claim of Right issues commemorate the constitutional settlements established following the Glorious Revolution, which laid important foundations for the development of parliamentary democracy within the United Kingdom.
An attractive and historic Royal Mint issue, the 1986 Proof Collection remains a popular addition to collections of modern British coins and annual proof sets.
Historical Background
The Bill of Rights and Claim of Right were enacted in 1689 following the accession of William III and Mary II to the throne. Together, these constitutional documents defined the relationship between Crown and Parliament and established important rights and limitations on royal authority.
To commemorate their 300th anniversary, The Royal Mint issued two separate £2 coins. The Bill of Rights coin was issued for England, while the Claim of Right coin recognised Scotland’s parallel constitutional settlement. Both feature a crowned cypher of William and Mary and remain among the most historically significant commemorative issues of the decimal era.
The inclusion of both coins within the 1986 Proof Collection makes the set a notable commemorative issue and an important record of modern British numismatic history.
