Silver Five Ounces 2025 City Views - Athens, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The five ounce (5 oz) silver coins are denominated as ten pounds (£10).

The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. The coins are typically "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with smaller denominations with the same reverse designs.

This design is the fourth and final release in the City Views series and features Athens, the capital of Greece.

The mint says about it:
This coin celebrates Athens' vast architectural and cultural significance across the world. With a Limited Edition Presentation of 100, it features a panoramic view of the ancient city and its iconic Acropolis.

Struck in 999 fine silver, this coin is a valuable addition to any collection and marks the final release in our City Views collection. Each coin is presented in a luxurious display case, complete with a booklet detailing the cultural and historical relationship between the United Kingdom and Greece.
