How many British 1983 2 Pence coins with New Pence were minted?

∙ 12y ago
The only British 2 Pence coins minted in 1983 were minted for either Mint Uncirculated or Proof coin sets.
A total of 631,000 British 2 Pence coins were minted for the Mint Uncirculated coin sets.
The "Mule" (2 New Pence instead of Two Pence) coins were included in sets packed by the Royal Mint for the "Martini and Heinz presentation sets", and not all sets included the "Mule" 2 Pence coin. No "Mule" coins were included in any of the Royal Mint sets.
Nobody has ventured a specific quantity of coins that were minted, but rather the vague "some" or "a quantity".
For want of a better answer, a number very significantly less than 631,000 of the 1983 "mule" 2 New Pence coins were minted.
