This 2021 Cutty Sark Reverse Frosted Silver Bullion Coin features the famous Clipper ship the Cutty Sark. The coin has been issued on behalf of the British Indian Ocean Territory Government and is limited to 10,000.
The Cutty Sark was a British Clipper ship that was built on the river Clyde in 1869. It was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development, which was when sails started to be substituted for steam.
The design on the coin shows the Cutty Sark with its sails unfurled. Approved by Buckingham Palace, this coin carries an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II exclusively by Pobjoy Mint.
You can also buy this coin in half gram gold with a low issue limit of 299 pieces worldwide. For this special edition Pobjoy have produced only 69 pieces of both coins with a unique reverse frosted background.
