This coin was developed in collaboration with the Imperial War Museums (IWM) to ensure historical accuracy. Artist Gary Breeze has captured the ship’s spirit perfectly, depicting the cruiser slicing through the waves against a global map—a nod to its storied service from the Second World War to the Korean War. Struck in .925 sterling silver with a selective gold-plated outer ring, the coin feels as prestigious as the vessel currently moored on the Thames.
