A History of Great Britain Framed Coin and Portrait Set

This is a large, professionally framed numismatic and educational display titled 'A History of Great Britain.' The piece is presented in a deep mahogany-finished wooden frame with a classic beveled profile. The display features a dark, likely black or charcoal, textured mat board with gold-tone decorative borders. Inside, it showcases a chronological collection of British history through several small oval portraits of monarchs paired with representative coinage from their respective eras. The portraits appear to be printed on white oval inserts, while the coins vary in size, metal composition (appearing as copper, bronze, and silver-toned), and level of circulation wear. It includes sections for various royal houses, such as the House of Windsor and the Tudor Monarchs. The layout includes printed descriptive text beneath each grouping, explaining the historical significance of the coins and rulers. The glass covering the display appears to be standard non-glare or clear picture glass. Condition-wise, the frame shows minimal signs of wear with no visible chipping or deep scratches. The interior elements are well-aligned, suggesting a high-quality manufacture, likely by a company specializing in commemorative historical collectibles such as a private mint or historical society. It appears to date from the late 20th century, approximately 1980-1995.
