2003 Alderney Final Flight Concorde £10 Silver Proof 5oz Coin PCGS PR68 DCAM
In 2003 to celebrate the Final Flight of Concorde and almost three decades of supersonic travel, the Royal Mint released a special Limited Issue Concorde £10 Ten Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver with 24 Carat Gold Highlights and weighs five ounces of Silver and Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR68 DCAM.
In October 2003, Concorde makes her final flight.
For twenty seven years the supersonic aircraft has fascinated people around the world and it was a sad day when British Airways and Air France announced that she would be permanently grounded from Autumn 2003, bringing to an end a significant chapter in the history of aviation.
Designed by Royal Mint Engraver Emma Noble, the reverse features an image of Concorde in flight, superimposed upon an interpretation of the plane's undercarriage.
The obverse shows Raphael Maklouf's elegant portrait of Her Majesty the Queen with slight toning.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
