A commemorative framed collection of United Kingdom coinage dated 1949. The set includes a likely bronze farthing featuring a wren reverse, a likely bronze half penny depicting the Golden Hind sailing ship, a likely cupro-nickel Scottish shilling displaying a lion sejant atop a crown, and a likely cupro-nickel sixpence with a crowned GRI monogram. The coins are presented with their reverses showing in a dark blue mount with gold-toned printed borders. The mount is printed with the uppercase characters A SPECIAL YEAR and the script text A collection of coins minted in, with 1949 set within a central maroon cartouche. The bottom right corner of the inner mount bears a printed copyright symbol followed by COINAGE DESIGNS 2005. The collection is housed in a glazed wooden frame and is accompanied by a black plastic display easel stand.
