The 2019 United Kingdom Silver Proof Piedfort Commemorative Coin Set
Struck in 925 sterling silver, the five coins in this set are double the weight of the silver Proof editions. Finished to Proof standard, the set contains coins commemorating a selection of important anniversaries being observed by The Royal Mint in 2019.
A £5 coin celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria, a £2 coin marks the 260th anniversary of the foundation of Wedgwood, and a £2 coin pays tribute to the bravery of Allied forces and the 75th anniversary of D-Day. A £2 coin marks 350 years since the final entry of Samuel Pepys' famed diary and a 50p coin helps observe the 160th anniversary of the birth of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author who brought us Sherlock Holmes™. The obverse of each coin in the set features Royal Mint coin designer Jody Clark's coinage portrait of Her Majesty The Queen.
