You can now pay homage to our heritage and to London 2012 by capturing the Mind, Body and Spirit of the nation with this beautiful limited edition sterling silver £5 coin collection – A Celebration of Britain.
As an Official Product of London 2012, each coin features the London 2012 logo highlighted in full colour. This is the perfect gift that you can keep forever to appreciate the best of British and to capture the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Each coin features on the reverse a specially commissioned handcrafted design by Shane Greeves, celebrating a particular aspect of Britain’s greatness – including Stonehenge, Big Ben, Sir Winston Churchill, Angel of the North and many more.
By looking to our great poets and wordsmiths for inspiration and combining these quotes with striking and symbolic images, Shane has managed to harness the nation’s pride whilst building excitement for the London 2012 Games.
