Silver Two 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 two ounce (2 oz) silver coins are denominated as Five Pounds (£5).

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:
The final release in our City Views collection celebrates the cultural and architectural significance of Athens. Featuring an exquisitely detailed panoramic view of the Acropolis and its surroundings, this coin pays tribute to this iconic city. Struck in 999 fine silver and available in limited numbers, it is a valuable addition to any collection.
