The 12 Greatest Britons Coins

Throughout history, many exceptional individuals shaped Britain’s legacy, and in 2002, the BBC released a public poll to find the 100 ‘greatest Britons of all time’. This range honours those who have left a lasting impact—figures ranging from Prime ministers and politicians, scientists, and more.  Each commemorative solid gold sovereign coin pays tribute to a different Briton and their achievements, handpicked from the 2002 BBC list by our Honorary Chairman, The Earl of Nottingham and Winchilsea, offering a lasting reminder of the people who have defined British history.
