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.
