This 2020 200 Years Anniversary of the Birth of Florence Nightingale £2 has been released on behalf of the South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands to commemorate 200 years since the birth of Florence Nightingale.
Florence Nightingale was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. She gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture.
This new coin features the values every nurse works to known as Compassion in Practice or the 6Cs … Competence, Communication, Care, Courage, Commitment and Compassion.
Pobjoy Mint will be giving 10% donation of the profit on this coin to support Cavell Nurses Trust who help nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants who are suffering from personal or financial hardship which can often be due to illness, disability, old age or the impact of coronavirus. They believe this charity is the most fitting as it stands for the principles seen on the coin.
The new £2 coin is produced in bi-metal housed in a special presentation pack and a Proof Fine Silver coin presented in a box and special certificate.
