Following the whirlwind of Polymer five pound notes being auctioned for vast sums back in 2016, there has been a surge in interest in the value of rare British coins. This coin master's guide lists 25 rare British coins that are well worth keeping an eye out for. In 2002, to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee, The Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Golden Jubilee £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid.925 Sterling Silver Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR69 DCAM. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
