Comments

Despite being produced in their millions and being available at face value from most post offices and banks, the ordinary business strike was a Royal Mint commemorative issue and not intended for general circulation.

Issued as part of the Annual Coin Sets for 1994, in both Brilliant Uncirculated (177,971 sales) & Proof versions. The coin was also issued in BU individual packs (no sales data) while also being struck in silver proof, silver piedfort and gold proof, a gold proof mule was accidentally created as well.
