The Battle of Independence 2025 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present The Battle of Independence 2025 1oz Silver Proof Coin by the Royal Mint.

Britain established its first American colonies in the early 1600s and these grew to include over 20 colonies and provinces by 1763. Proposed taxes from the British Parliament in London sparked discontentment amongst certain factions of the colonists, who began to take up arms.

The Battles of Lexington and Concord took place on 19 April 1775 and although they were relatively small skirmishes between the British and the Massachusetts militia, they were historically monumental. Initiating the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, they led to the founding of the United States of America.

Struck to mark the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, this UK coin features a reverse design by coin designer and engraver Michael Gaudioso that is available on a variety of gold and silver editions.
