2003 Concorde’s Last Flight £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Pack

The 2003 Concorde’s Last Flight £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Pack commemorates a significant moment in aviation history. On 24th October 2003, Concorde made its final flight, bringing to an end twenty-seven years of supersonic travel that had captivated people worldwide. It was a poignant moment when British Airways and Air France announced the permanent grounding of this remarkable aircraft from autumn 2003, closing a notable chapter in aviation history.

To celebrate Concorde’s nearly three decades of supersonic service, the Royal Mint collaborated with the Channel Island of Alderney to issue this special commemorative crown. The coin features a design by Royal Mint Engraver Emma Noble, with the reverse showcasing Concorde in flight superimposed upon an artistic interpretation of the plane’s undercarriage. The obverse displays Raphael Maklouf’s elegant portrait of Her Majesty the Queen.

This 2003 Concorde’s Last Flight £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Pack presents the magnificent commemorative coin housed in a beautifully illustrated presentation folder, making it a perfect addition to any numismatic collection focused on aviation history or British commemorative issues.
