Struck in 925/1000 Sterling Silver, to a magnificent proof finish, The 2011 UK Countdown to London 2012 £5 Silver coin has been produced to the rare Piedfort standard - meaning that it is twice the weight and thickness of the standard coin.
Proving the popularity of UK Silver Piedfort issues, the first two coins in the series have SOLD OUT completely. This coin has been officially endorsed by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games and features the official logo of London 2012 in colour.
As distributors for the Royal Mint, the purity, silver content and edition limit (set at only 4,000 coins worldwide) are guaranteed by the accompanying official certificate for The 2011 UK Countdown to London 2012 £5 Silver Piedfort Proof Coin.
Early reservation for limited stock remaining is strongly recommended.
