OK I found two BU UK coins in mint condition in the original packages or as you might say, mint on card.
They list for a pretty good price on ebay so I suppose they are nice coins for the winner.




First is shown on left.

1998 Royal Mint NHS 50th Anniversary
Brilliant Uncirculated 50p Fifty Pence Coin

Specifications:

Weight: 8.00 Grams / Diameter: 27.30mm

Quality: Brilliant Uncirculated

Presented: Original Royal Mint Pack






In 1998, The Royal Mint struck a Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated 50p Fifty Pence Coin to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the NHS.
On 5 July 1948 the dream of a National Health Service finally became a reality.
It was a momentous achievement, spearheaded by philanthropists and social reformers alike. Aneurin Bevan, then Minister of Health, successfully steered the NHS Bill through Parliament.
By the nationalisation of all voluntary and municipal hospitals, the bill laid the foundation for a Health Service that was to provide comprehensive medical treatment for all, according to need rather than the ability to pay.
For the first time all hospitals, family practitioners, pharmacists, opticians, dentists and community based services were brought together under one organisation. Fifty years on, the NHS continues to develop, boasting the largest workforce of any organisation in Europe.
The special reverse design by David Cornell, reflects the hopes and aspirations of the NHS at its inception, symbolising as it does the dawn of a new and caring age.
The obverse bears the new effigy of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.


These are both the prize to the one who is either the closest or hits the nail on the head with the total correct.
