This lot comprises a collection of United Kingdom proof coins issued in 1990. The set contains several denominations including the one penny, two pence, five pence, ten pence, twenty pence, fifty pence, and one pound coins.

The one penny and two pence coins are of a copper-toned alloy, while the five, ten, twenty, and fifty pence coins are struck in a silver-toned metal, and the one pound coin is struck in a yellow metal. The reverse designs include the portcullis on the one penny, the Prince of Wales feathers on the two pence, the crowned thistle on the five pence, the crowned lion on the ten pence, the Tudor rose on the twenty pence, Britannia on the fifty pence, and a Welsh leek within a diadem on the one pound. Centred at the top of the display is a medallion featuring a crown and the inscription ELIZABETH R 1990. The coins are housed in a blue velvet-lined plastic display case held within a blue leatherette presentation folder. The folder bears a silver-coloured Royal Mint crest and the printed words ROYAL MINT. An accompanying certificate is printed with 1990 UNITED KINGDOM PROOF COIN COLLECTION and the ROYAL MINT logo.
