Traditionally, base metal coins struck in their circulating alloys to Brilliant Uncirculated standard at the Royal Mint are displayed in beautifully illustrated presentation folders. The Base Metal Collection is no exception. The coins are housed in a colourful folder which tells the story of decimalisation, enhanced by images of heraldry reflecting the symbolism of each reverse design.
