The 2009 Great Britain set of 12 silver coins represents one of the most remarkable modern collections of UK proof issues, uniting artistry, history, and heritage. It includes all circulating denominations from 1 penny to 2 pounds, along with four special commemoratives: the 50p Kew Gardens Pagoda, marking 250 years of the Royal Botanic Gardens; the £2 Charles Darwin, celebrating the 200th anniversary of his birth; the £2 Robert Burns, honoring the Scottish poet’s 250th anniversary; and the £5 Henry VIII, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the king’s accession to the throne. The regular coin reverses feature Matthew Dent’s ingenious Royal Shield design, which forms a complete coat of arms when assembled. Each obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, dated 2009. Struck in sterling silver to proof standard, this exquisite set encapsulates the craftsmanship and cultural depth of British coinage.
