Alderney 5 pounds Sir Isaac Newton proof silver coin 2006

The Alderney 5 Pounds silver coin, issued in 2006, pays tribute to one of the greatest scientific minds in history — Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727). Struck in Proof quality, the coin honors the man whose groundbreaking work in physics, mathematics, and astronomy transformed human understanding of the natural world. On the reverse, a finely detailed portrait of Newton is framed by the inscription “SIR ISAAC NEWTON – FIVE POUNDS.” Next to his image, a prism refracting light into a spectrum recalls his revolutionary studies of optics. The obverse features the elegant crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the legend “ELIZABETH II – ALDERNEY – 2006.” This commemorative coin celebrates Newton not only as a scientist, but also as a figure of the Enlightenment, whose legacy paved the way for modern science. With its artistic engraving and limited mintage, this coin is a prized addition for collectors of historical personalities, science-themed issues, and Proof silver commemoratives.
