2020 Great Britain £5 CuNi Tower of London White Tower BU

The White Tower is the First Coin in Great Britain’s 2020 Tower of London Series

When digging into the history of England’s famous Tower of London, one must start with William the Conqueror, the first Norman king of England. After he claimed the crown following his victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William turned his attention to cementing his hold on power. That meant securing London, England’s most powerful city. It was there on the site of an old Roman city wall that he began construction of a great stone tower known today as the White Tower.

Now William’s iconic White Tower, one of the most famous castles in the world, is featured on the first coin in Great Britain’s 2020 Tower of London Collection. The series, which began in 2019, continues in 2020 with four new designs. Built to protect and control London, the White Tower — also known as “The Old Keep” — was an imposing fortress-stronghold that embodied William’s power and was meant to impress as well as intimidate citizens and visitors alike. The centuries-old structure is shown on the coin framed by a distinctive arched Norman window.

Each legal-tender £5 coin available in this offer was struck in 28.28 grams of gleaming cupro-nickel (CuNi) and comes in original Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The razor-sharp designs and mirror-like surfaces create an impressive coin that’s worthy of an exalted position in any collection. Plus, these coins also feature an exclusive Royal Mint Tower-of-London mint mark that appears only on the coins in this series.
