The Pride of Belfast
Engraved in History
An iconic vessel steeped in naval history, HMS Belfast was at the centre of events for 25 years, serving in the Second World War, Korean War and Cold War.
A fitting tribute to one of the most iconic British warships in naval history, this UK coin is the first of its kind to pay tribute to the legacy of HMS Belfast.
The reverse of the coin features bespoke artwork by Gary Breeze depicting the historic vessel, whilst the ship’s motto appears in Latin as the coin’s poignant edge inscription.
Complete with literature recounting the vessel’s rich history, this coin is the perfect keepsake for fans of naval history and a wonderful addition to any military coin collection.
