APMEX, Inc., an online Precious Metals retailer based in Oklahoma City, is pleased to announce the third release in The Royal Mint’s Landmarks of Britain series. This issue celebrates one of the most famous public spaces in the world: London’s Trafalgar Square.
The site of Trafalgar Square has been significant since the 13th century, but the public square as it is known today did not open until 1844 and takes its name from the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory in 1805. The iconic 169-foot Nelson’s Column stands at the center, surrounded by numerous other commemorative statues and sculptures. Nearly five million tourists visit Trafalgar Square, making it one of London’s most visited attractions.
The Landmarks of Britain series is unique in that, instead of the straight-on shots we see in movies and television, The Royal Mint designers chose to depict each iconic location as a tourist might view it – from an angled street view as though pictured in a snapshot. These Silver bullion coins appeal to both investors and collectors who want to own a piece of old London town.
“London is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world,” APMEX Vice President of Merchandising Ryan Boyles said. “This unique series from The Royal Mint has brought a Londoner’s perspective to familiar attractions. Our customers have excitedly collected both of the first releases and we are thrilled to be able to offer this next release to them.”
The 1 oz Silver Trafalgar Square coin specifications resemble those of The Royal Mint’s Silver Britannia, measuring 38.61 mm in diameter, containing .999 fine Silver and listing a face value of £2. The obverse features the fifth effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created by Royal Mint designer Jody Clark.
The entire Landmarks of Britain series showcases classic British landmarks where tourists flock and locals regularly gather. When complete, the series will feature Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace. Order yours today to continue, or start, your Landmarks of Britain series at APMEX.
