Collector insights

  • Design heritage: Ian Rank-Broadley, Matthew Bonaccorsi is credited as the designer for the Circulating commemorative coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
  • Struck at: Royal Mint, Llantrisant, United Kingdom (1968-date). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
  • Low mintage: Only 4,031 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
  • Catalogue reference: Listed as KM# 1032, Sp# K14. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
