The 2009 UK Proof Set Exemplify the Art of Minting
There is nothing more beautiful, or captivating, than a collection of finely crafted coins. My father was a coin collector and I picked up on it and started collecting coins at a young age myself. For his birthday, I’m going to get him a gift that’ll really knock his socks off, the 2009 UK proof set. These coins have been struck in sterling silver and produced by skilled craftsmen at the Royal Mint. You can’t get any better than this! The best part is that the coins themselves feature the distinct shape of the shield of the Royal Arms. I can’t wait for my dad to see this gift!
