Design details

Collector insights

• Design heritage: Jody Clark, Chris Facey is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating 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.
• Precious metal content: Gold (.999) plated silver (.999) (with selective highlighting) — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
• Catalogue reference: Listed as Sp#QN2, KM# 1838a. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
