Big Ben, officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, is one of the most famous structures in the world. Its towering presence and unmistakable clock face have become enduring symbols of London, British engineering, and parliamentary democracy. This 2017 silver coin captures the grandeur of the tower with a bold, modern design that highlights its intricate architectural features.
The obverse of the coin displays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark. This portrait, used on UK coinage beginning in 2015, shows the Queen in a right‑facing profile wearing the royal diadem. Inscriptions include Elizabeth II, D.G. Reg. F.D., and the coin’s monetary denomination.
The reverse features a dramatic, close‑up depiction of Big Ben, emphasizing the tower’s ornate Gothic Revival details. The design showcases the clock face prominently, capturing the precision and craftsmanship that have made Big Ben a global icon. The inscription Big Ben appears along the rim, along with the coin’s weight and purity.
With its elegant design, historical significance, and high silver purity, the 2017 1 oz British Big Ben Silver Coin is an excellent addition for collectors of world bullion, architectural themes, and Royal Mint releases.
"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
