This is the 2019 BU issue with a mintage of 16,475. When Edward III arrived unannounced at the Tower of London one evening, he was shocked to find the gates unguarded, allowing him to enter freely without being challenged. The King subsequently decreed that the Tower’s gate must be locked between sunset and sunrise to secure the fortress from unwanted visitors, in a ritual that has taken place ever since that fateful December night in 1340. Known as the Ceremony of the Keys, the Chief Yeoman Warder performs the ritual of locking the Tower for the night, carrying a lantern and The Queen’s Key. The fourth and final coin in the 2019 Tower of London series, produced in association with Historic Royal Palaces. The coin was issued individually in a Brilliant Uncirculated pack (10,977 sales) as well as in tubes for third parties (5,498 sales). The design features the Tower of London mint mark on the reverse and was also struck in silver proof, silver piedfort and gold. ©The Royal Mint, 2019
