JUST 495 AVAILABLE: Samuel Pepys Silver Proof £2 Coin Set

A prestigious Silver Proof £2 Coin Set has been released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Samuel Pepys’ legendary diary - a firsthand account of some of the most pivotal events in 17th-century British history.

Each of the four coins in this set has been struck from Sterling Silver to a flawless Proof finish, and features a design inspired by key moments Pepys documented in his own words:

• Samuel Pepys’ Legendary Diary – depicts Pepys writing at his desk with the skyline of 17th-century London behind him. The design is based on his 1666 portrait by John Hayls.
• The Restoration of the Monarchy – features a design inspired by the Seal of King Charles II. Pepys witnessed the coronation in 1660 and maintained close ties with the royal court.
• The Great Plague (1665) – shows a scene from a plague-stricken London, with a coffin being moved past a house bearing the inscription “Lord Have Mercy on our Souls.” The imagery reflects original woodcuts and eyewitness testimony.
• The Great Fire of London (1666) – captures the panic and destruction as people flee the flames by boat, inspired by the famous woodcut and Pepys’ own harrowing diary entry.

Each set is presented in a luxury display case and includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its place in the worldwide edition.

The edition limit has been capped at JUST 495 sets, ensuring its exclusivity for collectors and enthusiasts of British history.
