DESCRIPTION
In 2012 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic, the Royal Mint released a very special Limited Issue Titanic £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse designed by Lee Robert Jones features a highly accurate depiction of the magnificent vessel as she sails from Southampton. Behind Titanic is the silhouette of 'Thane', the memorial statue carved by Sir Thomas Brock, which was erected in Belfast in 1920.
The contrast of the proud ship sailing out to sea and the ghostly figure suggesting the fate that awaits dramatically captures the essence of the story.
The obverse designs has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley FRBS.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
