The Royal Mint issues various types of British coin sets for coin collectors each year. This is the Executive Coin Set which includes ten commemorative and circulation coins struck to a proof finish. In 2000, the executive proof set sold out at the Royal Mint without ever going on open sale. It was then followed by delays while the supplier of the new packaging design tried to iron out problems.
