UK 2018 WWI Armistice Silver Proof Piedfort £2

A rare and poignant tribute to the end of the Great War

In November 1918, the signing of the Armistice brought an end to four years of conflict and marked the beginning of peace in Europe. To honour the centenary of this historic moment, The Royal Mint struck a breath-taking £2 Piedfort coin – a design symbolising hope, reflection, and remembrance.

While several editions were released, none carries greater prestige than the Silver Proof Piedfort £2. Piedfort coins are the pinnacle of Royal Mint craftsmanship and only a tiny fraction of all UK coins each year are struck this way.

Twice the weight – half the edition

• Struck to The Royal Mint’s highest Proof standard in sterling silver

• Piedfort edition – double the thickness and weight of the standard £2 coin

• Features the evocative Armistice design by Stephen Raw - with the poignant words 'The Truth Untold, The Pity of War' from the Wilfred Owen poem Strange Meeting -  a reminder of the immense human cost of the First World War. The edge inscription reads 'WILFRED OWEN KILLED IN ACTION 4 NOV 1918'.

• Strict worldwide edition limit of just 2,500 – half that of the standard Silver Proof £2

• Finished to a flawless Proof standard and presented in a premium display case with Certificate of Authenticity

With only 2,500 coins released worldwide, this makes it one of the scarcest Piedfort £2 issues released in 2018, the equivalent RAF Piedfort £2 issues all had an edition limit of 500 more. Securing one today offers the chance to own not just a rare Piedfort issue, but a lasting tribute to peace and remembrance.
