Collector edition silver proof coins produced by The Royal Mint.

Silver coins like other metals will react to chemicals in the air and eventually start to show colour changes, even when sealed (unless in a vacuum). This change is called toning and is a natural event that can add to the appeal or look of the coin. The actual changes in terms of colours and position on the coin, combined with the collectors personal preference determine desirability and value.
