Comments

Although listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins as "Brass," according to official Royal Mint records these coins were minted in 79% Copper, 20% Zinc, and 1% Nickel.

Coins in the FM non-proof sets are described as "uncirculated specimen", and do seem to be better quality than the majority of coins put into circulation.
