The 1989 United Kingdom Proof Coin Collection — a beautifully presented Royal Mint proof set capturing Britain’s circulating coinage at the end of the 1980s. 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 £1, along with the commemorative 1989 Royal Arms £2, issued before the introduction of the bi‑metallic £2 in 1997. This £2 coin is a key attraction of the set, featuring the crowned shield of the Royal Arms designed by Eric Sewell.

This example is complete, in original Royal Mint packaging with its certificate of authenticity, ensuring full provenance and presentation quality.

A popular choice among collectors of modern British proof sets, offering a snapshot of pre‑decimal‑transition design continuity and late‑20th‑century minting style.
