Design details: Honouring a Royal Residence...
Since 1837, Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the British monarch. Today, it is the administrative headquarters of the British monarchy, as well as acting as a hub for national and royal celebrations. With several coin designs to his name, including those celebrating Alexander Graham Bell and The Who, artist Henry Gray has created a regal design for this coin in which Buckingham Palace serves as the centrepiece. The artist has skilfully depicted the majesty of such a grand building on the reverse of a £5 coin. A pattern inspired by a feature of the Palace’s interior encircles the portrait of the building itself, which proudly flies the Royal Standard indicating the presence of the British monarch. |
