2019 £5 Silver Proof Coin - The Ceremony of the Keys

The Tower of London Coin Collection

A Silver Tribute to The Tower of London’s Enduring History of Tradition

The Tower of London Coin Collection, created together with Historic Royal Palaces, celebrates one of the world’s most famous fortresses, and one of Britain’s most visited historic sites. 

The fourth coin in the collection explores the Ceremony of the Keys, the ceremonial locking of the gates of the Tower which has taken place every night for almost 700 years to secure the royal palace, its inhabitants and its treasures.  For the Ceremony of the Keys coins, the keys and lamp are central to the design; they represent the symbolic and practical elements of the ceremony.

Each coin in the collection features a special Tower mint mark – this is the first time it has appeared on coins in an official UK coin collection.

The fourth of four coins in a beautiful series.

Struck in sterling silver and finished to Proof standard
