An Orwellian Design

The coin’s masterfully crafted reverse design, created by artist Henry Gray, incorporates elements of totalitarianism, which is a central theme in Orwell’s writing.

Honouring a Literary Master

We commemorate George Orwell, a hugely talented writer and visionary thinker, on a UK coin for the first time.

Big Brother is Watching You

The silver Proof edition of the coin is available in an acrylic block, so it can be proudly displayed for all to observe, whilst the design does the same to you.
