If there’s one coin release I think will sell out almost instantly, it’s this one - the 2025 Two Georges 1oz Silver Proof Coin from The Royal Mint. With an incredibly low mintage of just 2,000 worldwide, I’d be shocked if hese are still available tomorrow. So, if you’re even slightly tempted, here’s your heads-up: grab one while you can. Not only is this a first-of-its-kind design featuring King George III and George Washington together on a UK coin, but it also comemmorates the 250th anniversary of one of the most significant events in world history : the American Revolutionary War.
This release feels special, almost like a bridge between 2 worlds. On one side, you have King George III, the longest-reigning king in British history before Queen Victoria, determined to maintain Britain’s global power. On the other, George Washington, who would go on to become the first president of the United States after leading the Continental Army to victory. Having these two towering figures share a coin is a bold move by The Royal Mint ,and I absolutely love it. Designer Bella Biggs has done a masterful job with the portraits, flanked by the powerful inscription “OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES AND OUR SACRED HONOR,” taken from the Declaration of Independence. It’s not just a design, it’s a story captured in silver.
The historical context is what makes this coin so compeling!!?? The Revolutionary War was a turning point not just for America, but for Britain too, forcing it to rethink its role on the world stage. It’s fascinating to hold a coin that represents both sides of that story. It’s rare for Royal Mint releases to feel this globally significant, and even rarer for one to so openly acknowledge a conflict where Britain didn’t exactly come out on top..... That’s part of the charm, it’s a piece of shared history that shaped two nations.
Collectors are going to go wild for this one. The last time we saw a coin with this much historical resonance — the War of Independence 1oz Silver Coin — it sold out quickly, and that had more than double the mintage of this release. The combination of low numbers, exquisite proof finish, and a subject that appeals to both British and American collectors means I expect secondary market prices to rise quickly.
Personally, I think this is one of the best Royal Mint releases in years, which, being hknest, isnt hard with the crap they routinely push-out. It’s educational, it’s beautifully struck, and it has that emotional and historical weight that makes a coin more than just metal. It’s a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a reminder of a moment that changed the course of history.
Whilst i will NOT be securing one for my collection right away, if you’re thinking of getting one(or 2), don’t hesitate. This is one of those releases that will disappear fast and leave collectors kicking themselves later. A coin like this doesn’t just hold silver value; it holds historical value, and that’s the kind of thing that only appreciates with time.
