British Pattern Euro Coin Sets Eight Piece "Mint" Set in uncirculated specimen grade, in attractive folder.

UK & The Euro
We believe that the United Kingdom will eventually join the Euro, along with about a dozen others countries. It is not known whether any official plans have been made to produce pattern designs for a set of British euro coins. It is likely that if any designs have already been considered, they will have been kept top secret for political reasons. There is a 9 coin prooflike version of this set, which also sold out very quickly, and is changing hands in internet auctions at over �250 per set.

Unofficial Patterns
On a number of previous occasions, especially before major coinage changes, pattern coins have been produced as a design exercise or to test public opinion. Many of these have been privately produced. Earlier this year we were shown a set of trial or pattern euro coins, with suggested British designs, and have now managed to buy a quantity of them, and have them in stock for immediate delivery. The pattern coins bear three different designs for the eight circulation type coins from �2 to 1¢.
Issue limit 20,000 sets.
