2019 Great Britain Silver Annual 5-Piece Piedfort Proof Set

The Royal Mint’s Finest of 2019, Struck as Double-Thick Piedforts

Proof coins are the epitome of the minter’s art, with frosty designs and glamorous, mirror-like fields. Piedforts are coins struck with double-thick planchets for a luxurious heft not found on standard coins. Put them both together, strike them in 92.5% Sterling silver and add five new beautiful designs and you have the limited-edition 2019 Silver Proof Piedfort Five-Piece Commemorative Coin Set from The Royal Mint.

This year’s set includes one-year-only designs commemorating the most important anniversaries of 2019. Those events include:
