New 5 Pence Two-Coin Set
“To commemorate the introduction into circulation of a new, smaller five pence coin in 1990, the Royal Mint is issuing a maximum of 35,000 silver Proof two-coin sets containing the last of the original five pence coins and the first of the new.”
Coin Design- “The reverse of each of the coins features the Badge of Scotland, a thistle royally crowned. This design by Christopher Ironside was first used on the five pence coin in 1968. The obverse shows the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf.”
The Royal Mint Background
The Royal Mint is a national treasure, making beautifully crafted coins and medals for countries all over the world. Over a thousand years of craftsmanship and artistry ensures every piece they strike is a long lasting piece of history.
The last round pound and any other coins produced by The Royal Mint are a staple of any UK bullion investors portfolio for a number of different reasons: As well as being competitively priced, Royal Mint coins with face value are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax free. By purchasing UK coins eligible for CGT exemption you can avoid paying tax over the profit you make, the amount of this CGT free profit won’t affect or decrease the limit of tax free profit on your other investments either.
The Royal Mint is listed as an active Good Delivery Refiner by the London Bullion Market Association.
