Issued in May 2001, this set was a Special Edition. Although limited to 3,000 sets they were not individually numbered. The reverse of each brooch carries only the J. Robertson's backstamp. The set cost £25 plus 3 tokens. The sets sold out in August 2001.

The black leather bound presentation box was, except for the wording, the same as that used for the Gollympic set. This time, the Nursery Rhyme on which the set was based – 'Monday's Child is Fair of Face', was printed in the inside cover. The box has the appearance of a book with Golly's Diary 2001 on the cover and spine, the pages being edged in gold. There is no separate certificate instead it is incorporated into the inside lid. The fastening is the traditional pin and safety catch. This was the first time that Robertson's had issued a square Golly brooch!
