PRESERVE THE STORY OF ONE OF OUR GREATEST FOREVER
I'm a firm believer that it's our role to preserve the memory of truly Great Britons for future generations. One such person that belongs to this select band of historical British characters is of course Florence Nightingale. She was a national heroine, and until very recently, the only woman whose image had ever adorned the reverse of our banknotes. Her truly corageous and pioneering work within the nursing profession ultimately laid the foundations for modern practices that still take place in hospitals and many field operations today. And, it is difficult to foresee what the medical world would be like had it not been for Florence Nightingale.

Issued in the 100th anniversary of her death, the Florence Nightingale Centenary Coin Cover provides an unparalled memento of this great woman. At the heart of the cover lies the brand new British Isles 'Lady of the Lamp' £5 Coin, intricately designed by former Royal Mint engraver Michael Guilfoyle, and expertly picked out in glorious colour detail. The Royal Mail Union Jack Flag Stamp also featured has been issued with the limited edition Florence Nightingale collector's label.
