2012 Alderney Titanic £5 BU

Description

For 2012 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated Titanic £5 Five Pound Coin Pack Sealed.

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.
