Condition and Presentation Note

• Proof Standard Quality: Struck using specially polished dies to achieve frosted artwork reliefs against mirror-like background fields.
• Silver Toning & Milk Spotting Disclosure: As is common across silver coins produced by major world mints (including The Royal Mint), natural chemical reactions may cause faint white surface marks known as 'milk spots' or mild surface toning over time. This is a recognised, industry-wide physical characteristic of fine silver bullion and proof issues and does not constitute a defect or grounds for a refund or return.
• Packaging Wear Note: Outer presentation sleeves and display boxes may display minor superficial shelf wear or subtle edge creasing consistent with manufacturing, transit, and warehousing.
