- Celebrate the life and legacy of George Orwell in silver
- Experienced coinage artist Henry Gray has cleverly inserted what looks like an eye, but is in fact a camera lens, into the centre of the design
- The reverse design features the inscription ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’, a quote taken from 1984, which encircles the camera lens
- Another quote from 1984, ‘THERE WAS TRUTH AND THERE WAS UNTRUTH’, serves as the coin’s edge inscription
- Struck to Proof standard, the finest available from The Royal Mint, this silver Proof Piedfort edition weighs twice that of its silver Proof equivalent
- Created with the support of the Orwell Foundation, an independently registered charity officially sanctioned by the Orwell Estate
- Accompanied by packaging that explores Orwell’s life and notable works
