Elizabeth II (1952-), gold four coin Proof Set, Countdown to the London Olympics 2012, Gold Five Pounds (4), 2009, swimming reverse with 3 overlay, 2010, athletic runners with 2 overlay, 2011, cycling reverse with 1 overlay, 2012, winner's podium reverse, all with same obverse, crowned head right, IRB initials below for designer Ian Rank-Broadley, denomination "FIVE POUNDS" below, Latin legend and raised rim surrounding, ELIZABETH. II. D. G. REG. F. D., reverses designed by Claire Aldridge, edge milled, weight 39.94g each (S.OGS9). FDC as issued in original case and packaging with certificate of authenticity number "19", though each coin had a total edition limit of at least 3,000 pieces, Coin Yearbook 2018 gives the actual number minted of each Five Pounds as 2009=1,860, 2010=1,562, 2011=1,300, 2012=1,007; though not many would have been collected year by year to formulate this set in its entirety with matching certification hence the low certificate number 19, a rare opportunity.
