2023 Edward Jenner Two Pound Silver Proof Innovation In Science Coin
Coming soon: a new official Royal Mint £2 coin celebrating the achievements of British physician Edward Jenner. Known as 'the father of immunology', Jenner pioneered the world's first smallpox vaccine. 200 years after his death and in the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic, 2023 is a good time to honour his legacy. This upcoming £2 coin will feature an abstract smallpox cell and a representation of the people whose lives Jenner's vaccine saved, together with an inscription reading: 'EDWARD JENNER A VACCINE TO END SMALLPOX'. The edge of most coins will be lettered with the words: 'INNOVATION IN SCIENCE · JENNER’. This design will be paired with Martin Jennings’ portrait of King Charles III. This is a limited edition collectable, struck in 12.00 grams of .925 sterling silver with a gold plated rim. These Two Pounds boast a proof finish, achieved with multiple strikes of dies hand-prepared by experienced craftsmen. You’ll receive a limited edition coin, with a high-shine appearance, rich in detail, enclosed inside its original capsule and presentation case from The Royal Mint.
