2015 Buckingham Palace One Hundred Pound Silver Coin In Presentation Pack Reverse

The Royal Mint produced the UK's second £100 coin in 2015. The silver coin features Buckingham Palace and is the first £100 to feature the fifth portrait of the Queen on the obverse. The first £100, the Big Ben coin, sold out in just eleven days at The Royal Mint!

Buckingham Palace

The palace started out as a private residence for the Duke of Buckingham. It was built in 1703 and stayed within his family for over 150 years. In 1761, the building was bought by King George III as a home for his wife, Queen Charlotte.

Over the years the palace has gone through a lot of changes. In the 19th century three wings were added to it in order to form the courtyard as it's known today. The east front was added at the start of the 20th century and features the well-known balcony.

Queen Victoria was the first monarch to make Buckingham Palace her primary residence when she moved in, in 1837.

Worth Less than £100?

The Royal Mint sold the coin as part of their £100 for £100 scheme - despite it containing only 2 ounces of silver. With an intrinsic value of just under £19* - it's worth less than a fifth of its face value!

* As of 05/08/2015. Silver spot price £9.32

Design

The reverse of the coin features the Victoria Memorial, with Buckingham Palace in the background. It was designed by artists, Glyn Davies and Laura Clancy.

The obverse features the new, fifth portrait of the Queen by artist Jody Clark.

Presentation

The silver coin comes in a colourful presentation folder, detailing the history of Buckingham Palace.

Specifications

More Expensive than the Mint?

Whilst we pride ourselves in being cheaper than the mint in most cases, we are unable to source these coins at a discount. We have managed to get a small supply in stock for informational purposes and to photograph. We are offering them for sale, but at a premium. This is because we don't work for free and should they sell out again at the mint, our small stock will be gone quickly.
