KM-PS17, S-PS11. "Long" and "Short" sets were produced in 1911, the latter omitting the 2 and 5 Pounds; these two denominations are amongst the most popular in the entire British series, and as such the "Long" set is far more popular. This "Long" set neither omits a single denomination nor leaves any quality to be desired, with every issue certifying at the gem Mint State level. Several of the included silver issues rank well within this territory, lavishly toned in silver and iridescent blue, while the gold emissions display a commendable clarity of strike joined by the characteristic mirror reflectivity so coveted by collectors. In every respect, a remarkable set, accompanied by its original red leather box of issue.
