The series start now and one coin will be sent to you every 28 days, together with a selection of complimentary gifts, until your collection is complete. Celebration of Britain Silver Series is a collection of 18 silver coins that honour Britain's past, people and places.

You can order today and receive your first coin for just £27.45 (saving you £27.50). The subsequent coins priced at £54.95 a piece. The collection comprises 18 legal tender UK £5 coins struck in sterling silver to Proof quality, and each coin has been designed by Shane Greeves in conjunction with the Royal Mint Engraving Team specifically in celebration of our great nation as we count down to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games - the most prestigious, cultural and sporting event in the world.

The first £5 coin of the collection is available now and features on its reverse the image of Stonehenge, highlighting the advancements made by ancient civilisations. The quotation from the English romantic poet and engraver William Blake, ‘Great things are done when men and mountains meet’, can be seen as defining the commitment needed to overcome sporting challenges, while at the same time alluding to the neolithic monument itself. As with all UK legal tender coins, the portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS appears on the obverse.
Shane Greeves (the designer) says:
The inscription and central image of each coin are brought together by a series of intersecting lines that cross the surface of the coin. These lines are details from the Golden Mean, a mathematical formula that has fascinated mathematicians, artists, psychologists and biologists for nearly 2,400 years.

Shane Greeves (the designer) says:
‘The design concept for this silver series was developed to work across three chosen themes – the mind, body and spirit. The mind, representing the mental strength of our Olympic athletes and our nation’s achievements across the arts, technology and science. The body, celebrating the physical strength of our athletes, while exploring the wonders of the natural world across Britain. And finally, the spirit, praising the inner strength of our athletes, while portraying different aspects that occur across British life.’
