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.

This design was also issued in Brilliant Uncirculated individual packs as well as in silver proof, silver proof piedfort and gold proof.
