George Orwell 2025 silver proof coin

Limited Edition 4500

Honouring the life and legacy of George Orwell with a coin that incorporates central themes of his visionary writing on its reverse

Presented in an acrylic block, which is the perfect way for fans of Orwell’s work to display this masterfully designed coin

Artist Henry Gray has cleverly inserted what looks like an eye, but is in fact a camera lens, into the centre of the design

The reverse design features the inscription ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’, a quote taken from 1984, which encircles the camera lens

‘THERE WAS TRUTH AND THERE WAS UNTRUTH’, another quote from 1984, serves as the coin’s edge inscription

Created with the support of the Orwell Foundation, an independently registered charity officially sanctioned by the Orwell Estate

Accompanied by packaging that explores Orwell’s life and notable works
