The red deluxe sets are mo different from the blue sets in terms of coinage, just simply a red leather case. Later sets did include the £5 crown, these were from 1993(?) and issued with the £5 when it was issued (only certain years). From the year 2000 the Mint also bought out an Executive Proof set, from 2000 to 2003 these were packaged in a most unattractive plastic box. But from 2004 onwards the Executive set was housed in a wooden box - much nicer! Deluxe sets are still available though, I couldn't tell you what they are like as we don't collect them!
