1978 Proof Set

Every year since 1970 the Royal Mint has released a limited number of annual sets with proof versions of the coins issued for circulation that year. Today you can own the 1978 Royal Mint Annual Proof set.

The 1978 Annual Proof set contains six coins – including the definitive issues from the 50p coin to the Half Penny in their original circulating metals. The 1978 10p coin was not struck for circulation, therefore securing this set is the only way you can add this coin to your collection.

The very best of the Royal Mint’s coins

Each coin is struck to the Royal Mint’s highest standard Proof finish, using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks. Each coin can be appreciated in exquisite detail as every blank is struck more than once to ensure a clearer and finer design than the coins that you would find in your change.

Highly sought after by collectors

Because of the skill and time involved in striking proof coins they are struck to a strict limited edition. Proof sets represent the pinnacle of the Royal Mint’s craftsmanship, so they are in high demand amongst collectors.

Only a limited number available

This set is no longer available at the Royal Mint and can be difficult to track down on the secondary market. We only have a limited number available to offer but with demand high, we don’t expect these sets to be available for long.
