Elizabeth II's definitive effigy, designed by Jody Clark, is struck to the obverse of this Sherlock Holmes coin in a frosted finish. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 50 Pence · 2019'.
The reverse of this coin, celebrating the Sherlock author's birth, presents Holmes's profile complete with the titles of Arthur Conan Doyle's writings. The design is an original work by Stephen Raw of The Royal Mint.
This Arthur Conan Doyle Fifty Pence is struck in 8.00 grams of .925 silver. It therefore holds 7.40 grams of precious metal within its 27.30 millimetre diameter. The Royal Mint gave this literary-themed presentation a proof-quality commemorative finish.
Your silver Arthur Conan Doyle coin includes the original illustrated packaging, which houses the 50p for added protection. The outer boxes feature more visuals, as well as a numbered certificate of authenticity. This pre-owned, no longer available presentation launched with a strict issue limit, and is no longer available new.
