100th Anniversary of World War One five ounce gold proof coin from The Royal Mint: from a limited edition of just 30. This premium commemorative coin from 2016 is a celebration of the poetry of the Great War, issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the conflict as part of an extensive collection from the UK's national mint. British artist David Lawrence has created a senstive design for the reverse of this 5oz coin, inspired by a line from war poet Rupert Brooke's 'The Soldier'. The words 'There shall be in that rich earth a richer dust concealed' are shown above a group of soliders, marching through no man's land. It's a poignant design, paired on the obverse with Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. We are offering this 156.30 gram pre-owned Royal Mint coin in the original presentation packaging with its numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed.
