| 1966 | Official VIP issue for international recipients. Six coins packaged in heat-sealed soft clear plastic with a somewhat awkwardly worded printed card - in English and French - apologising in advance for likely tarnishing. More than 40 years later all coins are flawless, with the three cupro-nickel coins having attained a superb rainbow lustre. By far the finest Unc set we have ever seen. |
