Description: For sale is a United Kingdom Royal Mint Silver Proof Two Pound Coin Rugby World Cup 1999 , Case & Certificate. These are all in good condition. In 1999 the world's best rugby-playing nations will battle for the Webb Ellis Cup in what will be the fourth Rugby World Cup tournament. The finals will be hosted by the Welsh Rugby Union and held at venues throughout the Five Nations of England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the matches promising six weeks of fierce competition in October and November 1999. In celebration, the Royal Mint is proud to issue a commemorative two-pound coin for collectors. Its special reverse design has been created by medallist Ron Dutton who, in his representation of a packed rugby stadium viewed from above, wanted to capture the 'pulsating atmosphere, movement, sound and colour' of a great game and its enthusiastic spectators. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's regal portrait of the Queen. Both inner disc and outer circle have been minted in sterling 925 silver but to emulate the bi- colour nature of its circulating counterpart, the outer ring has been plated with fine gold. This legal tender coin has been struck to the highest Proof quality using specially selected blanks and highly polished dies. For this reason it is advisable to avoid handling the coin as fingerprints or marks will impair its delicate Proof finish.
