Am I going to da moon? 😂 1996 Silver Anniversary Set (Certificate of Authenticity Number 00002)

[srh2023]

I picked up the Royal Mint 1996 Silver Anniversary Set at a well known London coin fair this morning. Nothing particularly special with the price paid being exactly what I would have expected. I got the set home and upon closer inspection it seems I have Certificate of Authenticity Number 00002. I also note there is the letter ‘R’ after the number. Can any of our numismatics experts elaborate and make me perhaps dream of going to da moon? (I suspect I know the answer but why not ask). Also, what is the significance of the ‘R’ after the number? Regardless, a very nice set purchased for a very fair price 😃

Its a replacement COA, that's what the R stands for.

Someone had the set and it either came without a COA or they lost it, they requested a replacement and they got 00002R, meaning they were the second person to ask for a replacement COA

Thanks for the information. In summary, I am not going to da moon then 😂
