2) 2 Pounds. PROOF-70 Deep Cameo. S-K10; Fr-446; KM-999b. Mintage: 311.
3) Sovereign. PROOF-69 Deep Cameo. S-SC4; Fr-454; KM-1002.
4) 1/2 Sovereign. PROOF-70 Deep Cameo. S-SB4; Fr-455; KM-1001.
Total AGW: 2.0017 oz. A RARE set which features the standard designs on the 5 Pound, Sovereign and 1/2 Sovereign, while the 2 Pound is a commemorative type struck for the Rugby World Cup. While the accompanying certificate of authenticity reports an authorized mintage of 1,000 sets, few must have sold, with both the Standard Catalogue of British Coins and the Standards Catalog of World Coins reporting a mintage of 311. As such, it should be considered a key issue for the period, with few types existing with a lower mintage.
Estimate: $3500 - $4500
