With contemporary designs celebrating the major locations of the UK, The Landmarks of Britain series brings to life the iconic architecture and features that have shaped the nation. This is the first bullion offering in the series which couples designs from talented Royal Mint coins designers on both the coin reverse and obverse.
Big Ben
The Elizabeth Tower that dominates the skyline at the northern end of the Houses of Parliament is one of London's most iconic landmarks. But while the tourists who flock to photograph it each day might refer to the clock as 'Big Ben', it is actually the great bell inside that bears the famous nickname, possibly used in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall, First Commissioner for Works 1855-1858. The original bell was cast in 1856 but quickly cracked. It was recast in 1858, but was to suffer the same fate. Finally a lighter hammer was used to strike a different section of the still damaged bell, giving us the distinctive sound, a musical note E, we know today. It is a sound that has become an unmistakable thread in the very fabric of British life.
Landmarks of Britain
The Landmarks of Britain series by The Royal Mint features four iconic landmarks in the United Kingdom, in 1 ounce of .999 fine Silver. Each coin also has a limited mintage, adding to the series' collectibility. The coin designs have a contemporary interpretation of these iconic buildings and landmarks. The first in the series features Big Ben, the nickname for the great bell that is housed inside Elizabeth Tower. The second features Tower Bridge, and third release features Trafalgar Square. The fourth and final release celebrates Buckingham Palace.
