| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, this coin belongs to a broader Royal Mint commemorative program released throughout 2020 — a year in which COVID-19 severely disrupted proof coin production and dispatch, leading to documented delays in collector fulfillment. The .9999 fineness distinguishes it from earlier Royal Mint gold issues, which typically used .9167.
