The 2017 United Kingdom
SILVER PROOF PIEDFORT SILVER COIN SET
Created by the very best artists and designers, and perfected by the Royal Mint craftsmen and craftswomen, the five commemorative 1,500 editions of 2017 celebrate the works of the great novelist Jane Austen, alongside the legacy of Sir Isaac Newton, giant of the Scientific Revolution. They also celebrate a century of royal service, making the creation of the House of Windsor, and the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of the Viking conqueror Canute the Great as king of England. In association with Imperial War Museums, we also pay tribute to the aviators of the First World War and the sacrifices they made in the race for supremacy of the skies.
