The silver designs reminiscent of earlier, classic designs, The famed Una and the Lion from the 1839 Gold Five Pounds, the Standing Britannia from the Edward VII Florin series, the Lion on Crown from the later George IVShilling and Sixpence, and the Crowned Shield in Garter from the later George III Shilling and Sixpence series. The coins were among those stuck in the winter and spring of 1962-1963 as part of a group of coin struck for the 'Decimal Coinage Committee' which had been appointed in December 1961 to advise on the most convenient and practical form that a Decimal currency might take. The Chairman of the Committee was The Rt. Hon. Earl of Halsbury FRS, The Secretary was Mr. N.A.E. Moore, who subsequently became Chairman of the Decimal Currency Board. The Assistant Secretary was Mr. John Rimington. The Trial coins were circulated at the meetings by the Deputy Master of the Mint Mr. J.H. James CB. A truly spectacular and ultra-rare set, only 2-5 sets believed to exist. We can find no record of this set ever being offered in a Royal Mint case, indeed neither Freeman, Krause nor Coincraft mentions the existence of a case, so this set being offered as it is in the Royal Mint case very probably is unique.
