Royal Wedding Princess Ann & Mark Philips (Great Britain) 1973.Set of 6 Sterling Silver Medals proof in case with COA. Westminster Abbey, The Glass Coach, Royal Yacht, Horse, Honeymoon

I think this was a Pobjoy Mint issue, 6 coin set, 5000 sets in sterling silver, 3000 sets in Silver with 22ct gold, 300 sets in 22 ct gold and 30 sets Platinium sets.

Other sets included covers with the royal mail stamps, those were a Silver medal or a Bronze/Brass medal.

Pobjoy is the biggest independent mint, based in UK, mints mostly commeratives for commonwealth countries.

You nailed it chingford,it is a good buy to bought silver and 22ct gold plated silver,under 100 euro?

Problem with these sets is that they wwere distributed by Westminster Collections and Pobjoy direct, so retail prices were always very high in comparison to value, similar to Royal Mint Commemoratives.

I haven't seen any of the sets listed for sale, lots of the Coin/Stamp covers though, and the web wasn't about in the seventies so it would be difficult to track down any information from the original release or give a realistic value.

All that said, the Royal Family are still a good worlwide collecting theme, the sets are limited in number and, if you are happy with the price you paid, it was a good purchase.
