Why Collect 2025 UK Annual Sets?
Are you a collector wondering why you should buy the 2025 UK annual sets instead of waiting for the individual coins to be released? Annual sets allow you to own some of the year's key commemorative coins before much of the UK population and other collectors, with each coin launching on currently undisclosed dates throughout 2025. The Royal Mint also stated, 'The Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother 2025 £5 coin featured in the 2025 annual set, may also appear in other sets and product formats in the future.
Standard vs Definitive 2025 UK Annual Sets
While most 2025 annual sets issued by The Royal Mint include new British coin designs and the definitive coins of the year, the definitive coins also have their own annual set, which can be bought separately. Definitive designs appear on our coinage year after year, unlike the new commemorative designs included in each UK annual set.
The 2025 annual set features definitive designs with a flora and fauna theme, inspired by King Charles III's commitment to environmental issues and the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations. These definitive designs are created by a selection of highly skilled British Royal Mint engravers. The engravings depict various animals, including some that are endangered, as well as plants originating from all four nations of the UK.
What Are the Commemorative Designs in 2025 UK Annual Set?
Collectors are sure to be satisfied with the 2025 UK annual sets, as there are five new commemorative coins. These new Royal Mint coin designs are engraved by several of the most talented Royal Mint engravers. Royal Mint commemorative coins depict iconic people, institutions, and events in British history. Below are the face values and designs of the five new coins featured in the 2025 UK annual coin set.
- £5 - Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother
- £2 - 200 Years of the Modern Railway
