Exclusive! Limited edition set at a mere 850 coins!

An impressive, official release from Britain’s Royal Mint, this official British legal tender tribute to the 75th birthday of Princess Anne is a ‘Piedfort’ issue. Struck from 56.56 grams of sterling silver, it’s DOUBLE THE WEIGHT of Britain’s standard Silver Proof £5!
Literally translating as ‘heavy foot’, but understood as ‘heavy weight’, Piedfort issues are normally twice the weight and often twice the thickness of the standard issue for a particular type. Part of a tradition that dates back to 12th century France, and pronounced ‘pee-ay-fore’, Piedforts were often presented to VIPs of one sort or another, or created specifically for politically influential collectors. In addition, it is theorised that Piedforts were employed in the production of circulating coinage, as part of the approval process.
Celebrating a major Royal Milestone with this highly popular minting technique, the 75th Birthday of Princess Anne 2025 £5 Silver Piedfort Proof Coin carries an official portrait of Her Royal Highness on the reverse, united with her official Coat of Arms. An official British legal tender issue, the portrait of the king – Princess Anne’s elder brother, Charles III – adorns the obverse.
To be enjoyed by the privileged few, the limited edition of this exceptional collector piece has been set at a mere 850. With a tiny number available at Downies, you must not miss this opportunity – click add to cart now!
