Double the thickness and weight of their traditional counterparts, Proof Piedfort editions of coins are intrinsically higher in value than their Proof equivalents.

Proof coins are amongst the finest commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint. Made with the highest care and consideration, our Gold Proof coins feature a sharpness of detail like no other.

The dies used to strike Proof coins are hand-finished to ensure that all imperfections are removed. Blanks are fed into the coin press by hand before being struck up to six times, at a lower speed and with less pressure than other finishes, to preserve the finer details of the design.
