It is believed that the VIP Proofs were struck specially for important dignitaries visiting the country and, as such, only a handful of examples were struck for each year. For this reason, it is exceptional to have a full complete set intact. This represents the only UK Proof Coins of 1955 encapsulated by a commercial grading service to-date.
