350 Years of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich Cupro-Nickel 2025

The £2 Brilliant Uncirculated coin pays tribute to one of the most important sites in the history of navigation – the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Established in the 17th century on the initiative of Charles II, it played a key role in determining longitude and setting the universal time the world knows today.

The reverse features symbols associated with the Observatory's heritage: the Shepherd Gate Clock, the North Star, and other scientific instruments that supported sailors, travelers, and astronomers for centuries. Designed by Henry Gray, the composition brings these elements together in a meaningful depiction of travel and discovery by sea and land.

The coin’s edge bears the inscription “∙ PERFECTING THE ART OF NAVIGATION” – a motto capturing the spirit of this remarkable place. The Brilliant Uncirculated edition offers a high standard of finish, perfect for collectors seeking both quality and historical value.
