Comments
Part of the proof decimal sets made in silver:
The silver decimal coins from 1981-1983 were issued in silver 0.925 when 1980 coins were made from silver 0.500.
In addition, the 50p coin from 1980 has a slightly different obverse than the coins from next years (smaller Queen's bust, legend little differently aligned).
Reverse of 1982 coin with crib mark on far right, commemorating birth of Prince William.
