To welcome the new millennium, The Royal Mint brought together the circulating coinage of the United Kingdom in this beautifully crafted 13 coin silver proof set. Struck in 2000 during the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the collection captures a unique moment in time as the nation looked forward to a new century while honouring long‑standing traditions.

Each coin in the set is struck in sterling silver to the finest proof standard, with frosted designs standing out against mirror‑like fields. The obverse of every definitive coin carries Ian Rank‑Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, introduced in 1998, showing the monarch with a dignified and contemporary likeness that defined the coinage of the late twentieth and early twenty‑first centuries.

The set includes circulating denominations of the period, from the maundy penny set through to the £2 coin, allowing collectors to enjoy the full range of Royal Mint designs as they appeared at the turn of the millennium. Familiar reverse designs such as the lion, the Britannia of the fifty pence and the bimetallic £2 with its technological theme are all rendered with exceptional clarity in silver, revealing detail often missed in everyday circulation.

Presented together in a lined display case, the coins are protected yet easy to admire, making the set ideal for viewing and appreciation. For collectors of modern British silver proofs, the 2000 Elizabeth II Millennium Silver Proof Set offers a complete, elegant and historically resonant snapshot of the nation’s money as one century closed and another began.
