Piedfort sterling silver proof Royal Observatory Greenwich £2 coin from a limited mintage of just 650! This collectable 2025 Two Pound celebrates the 350th anniversary of the famous London observatory, which was founded in 1675. The Royal Observatory played a major role in the history of navigation and astronomy, and gives its name to Greenwich Mean Time, since the Prime Meridian passes through the site. This commemorative anniversary coin features a globe, set against a star chart and a clock face, inspired by the famous Shepherd Gate Clock, which is located at the gates of the Observatory. Piedfort coins are twice the weight of their standard counterparts, with this example struck in 24 grams of .925 silver with gold-plated edge detailing. You'll receive your Royal Observatory coin in the original Royal Mint packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
