As part of a four-part coin series of Five Pound Crowns released in 2019 celebrating the Tower of London, this Legends of the Ravens design was the first release. This edition is the brilliant uncirculated piece in cupronickel, struck twice to give the coin its sharp finish. There are numerous contradicting and sometimes magical stories behind the presence of ravens at the Tower of London. Some argue that it was King Charles II who heeded warnings that 'the Tower will fall and you will lose your kingdom' if ravens were absent. Other stories say that ravens were kept at the Tower to dramatise executions held there. Today, the ravens are a tourist attraction for visitors to London, to marvel at the impressive birds as well as revel in the myths that surround them. The reverse design by Glyn Davies depicts a majestic raven, with intricate detail on its feathers and beak. Imposed around the bird is part of the architectural plan of the Tower of London and Mint Street. When this Royal Mint coin is viewed together with the other three coins in the series, the architectural plans come together to show a complete map of the Tower. An inscription reading 'TOWER OF LONDON' is written below the design, while another inscription around the edge of the coin reads 'ON INTO TWILIGHT WITHIN WALLS OF STONE' which is taken from a poem by Samuel Rogers. On the obverse is Jody Clark's official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used on British coinage from 2015 until 2023. The specifications of the pre-owned coin are a weight of 28.28 grams and a diameter of 38.61 millimetres. Each coin is housed in a colourful limited edition folder, which makes it the perfect gift option for coin collectors.
