from The London Coin Company
, featuring a premium range of British silver piedfort issues struck by The Royal Mint
in Proof quality. These coins are specially produced to be double the thickness and weight
of standard coins of the same design, giving them a distinctive presence, enhanced detail, and strong appeal to collectors.
The term piedfort (from the French meaning “heavy foot”) refers to coins struck on thicker blanks, traditionally used as presentation pieces or collector issues rather than for circulation. Modern British silver piedfort coins are typically issued in very limited mintages, often to mark important royal events, commemorative themes, or flagship coin series such as £5, £2, £1, and other denominations. This category includes silver piedfort releases from major Royal Mint programmes such as Queen’s Beasts, Great Engravers, Music Legends, commemoratives, and historic anniversary issues. Many coins feature proof finishes with mirrored fields and frosted designs, and are frequently presented in official packaging with certificates of authenticity. Collectors value silver piedfort coins for their low mintages, heavier silver content, and superior strike quality, making them highly desirable within modern British numismatics. Whether you are building a complete Royal Mint piedfort collection, seeking rare commemorative issues, or investing in premium UK silver proof coins, this range offers carefully selected pieces from one of the UK’s trusted coin dealers. |
