Less Than 40 Remaining – Secure This Official Olympic Cover

Issued in 2009 by The Royal Mint, this £5 First Day Cover marks a key milestone on the road to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was the first official coin in the Olympic Countdown series and features two swimmers in motion beneath a bold digital-style “3” – symbolising three years to go until the Games began.

The coin is struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard, meaning it’s a superior finish to circulating coins, with crisp detail and a bright, clean appearance.

Also included are ten Royal Mail 1st Class Olympic stamps, each one celebrating the spirit and energy of the Games. Officially postmarked on 22nd October 2009, this cover captures the exact moment the UK marked its Olympic countdown. Over a decade later, it remains a relevant and valuable addition for collectors - commemorating one of Britain’s proudest sporting achievements and the lasting legacy of the 2012 Games.

Fewer than 40 covers remain from the original issue, making this a sought-after and increasingly scarce addition to any collection of Olympic or Royal Mint memorabilia. Secure yours today for just £29.99.
