2021 £5 Silver Proof Coin - Celebration of Reign of George III

A Celebration of the Reign of George III

Britian's Longest Reigning King

George III is the longest reigning king in British history.  During the 59 years he was on the throne Britain became a leading world power and experienced industrial and agricultural revolutions.  A symbol of stability at a time of great change, George III is more widely known for his "madness".  This perception has shifted as historians uncover a thoughtful and dedicated monarch.  As we mark 200 years since the end of his reign, this £5 coin celebrates the life and legacy of George III. 

The coin reverse design by Dominique Evans reflects the many aspects of George III's life and interests.  Surrounding George III's head are the symbols of his kingdom, framed by his crown.
