UK 2026 £5 The Life of Queen Victoria Silver Proof Coin

Whilst much has been written about the life of Queen Victoria, the greatest source of information is arguably the account of her life written by her own hand. From the age of 13, the future 'Grandmother of Europe' kept a comprehensive Journal that includes personal details alongside colourful illustrations and inserts. Today, these personal ponderings are store in the Royal Archives and paint a detailed picture of the monarch. Now, we celebrate the life and legacy of Queen Victoria through her own words with this UK coin.
