British Gold Coin Proof Sets
Type Collecting
The 1999 gold set includes the commemorative £2 coin to celebrate the Rugby World Cup, instead of the more usual St. George and Dragon design. The gold sets of 1986 had also contained the Commonwealth Games design of £2, but the 1989 sets used their own exclusive Sovereign 500th Anniversary rather than the two different English and Scottish versions to commemorate the tercentenary of the Bill of Rights and the Claim of Right.
The Four Coins
The four gold coins we refer to are, of course, the gold sovereign, half sovereign, five pounds, along with the two pound coin, often called a double sovereign.
