This year, as we mark the 100th anniversary of his passing, we are celebrating Alexander Graham Bell’s incomparable legacy with a three-coin set in his honour. Comprising three classic coins first issued more than a century ago, each historic coin relates to a period of Bell’s life, tracing the telephone pioneer’s story from the United Kingdom to Canada via Boston, and they form a truly unique, numismatic set that is a must-have for collectors and Bell enthusiasts alike.
