Cases are metal framed 76mm x 76mm.Inside most of the cases the coins are displayed in a hard , square , accrilic capsule 63mm x 63mm containing a black alveo insert..
The sets packed in this way are intended for sale to Buckingham Palace, HM Tresury , the Bank of England and certain members of staff at the Royal Mint.
Sets of coins were also ordered by the Royal Almonry for helpers at the maundy ceremony.. The same type of red case is used for these sets but the coinsi nside are contained in squares of soft plastic rather than in the acrylic capsule and black alveo.
