Comment
This is the third time this design has been used, first in 2014 in the Portrait of Britain series as a colourised proof £5, then again in 2015 as a £100 2oz coin. This proof was issued in a 2-coin set with a reverse frosted silver proof, limited to 800 sets.A bullion version was also struck as the first issue in a 4-coin series commemorating famous landmarks in Great Britain and featured the additional legend '1oz '999' fine silver' on the reverse.
