Limited to 1500: 100 Years of Insulin Silver Proof Piedfort 50p

Commemorating the 100^th anniversary of the discovery of insulin, The Royal Mint released a Silver Piedfort 50p coin, celebrating the historic feat made by Dr John Macleod, Sir Frederick Banting, Dr Charles Best and Dr James Collip.

A Breakthrough Discovery

Since their breakthrough discovery in 1921, millions of diabetics worldwide have been helped through revolutionised medicine.

The coin’s design depicts the molecular formula and structure of insulin, beautifully presented on .925 Silver. Struck to a Proof finish, the Piedfort coin is double the weight of the Silver Proof Issue, and contains twice the amount of Silver.

Due to the high-level skill and craftsmanship it takes to produce Piedforts, they are typically struck with small edition limits — often half that of their standard Silver counterparts! This means that for collectors, these coins are in very high demand and sell-out completely.

Tiny edition limit - ONLY 1,500

As the first coin in the Innovation in Science series — the Stephen Hawking 50p — sold out in a matter of hours with an edition limit of 2,500, and this coin has a tiny edition limit of 1,500!

The good news is you can add it to your collection today for a deposit of JUST £25 (+p&p), followed by four further interest-free instalments — that’s the most cost-effective way to own this popular Silver Piedfort 50p.

Act now to make sure you don’t miss out.
