This 2020 The Infamous Prison £5 is the 4th and final coin in the 2020 Tower of London 4 coin collection. This coin explores the Tower’s role as a highly secure state prison. Monarchs and commoners alike were held at the Tower, though wealth and status could afford some a more comfortable stay.
Discover how centuries-old graffiti inspired the forbidding inscription on the coin’s reverse, created by heraldic artist Timothy Noad. Created in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces.
This 2020 The Infamous Prison £5 is finished to Brilliant Uncirculated standard – a finer finish than circulating coins. It is also available as a Silver Proof Coin (Limited Edition 1,500) and Silver Proof Piedfort Coin (Limited Edition 400).
