    There were two versions. The top one is a gold plated and not very good at that. I own one and any I have seen have lost colour. The bottom one done in silver plate and seems to be the more widely available one at the time. Supposedly the gold plated was limited to 100. But I have saw 3/4 physically. As I'm in Belfast, I reckon there were more than 100 struck. The top one comes in a green leather padded case.
    Value wise, one sold on eBay for £8. Not always a good indication of value.
    I would put a reserved value of around £25-30 depending on condition, boxed etc. I would say not much difference in either for value.

    Sorry just noticed the bottom one is solid proof. Usually an indication it's silver. So I would probably go with an estimated £40 on this one. In fact both probably silver but one gold plated. Hope this helped. Any other memorabilia your wondering about let me know!
