UK 2020 £5 The Tower of London The Royal Menagerie Uncirculated Coin

Palace, fortress, prison, menagerie, public records office, arsenal, mint - the Tower of London has performed many roles and holds a place at the very heart of Britain’s history. The Tower of London Coin Collection, created in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, is a fitting tribute to the Tower and its unique past. This coin recalls a time in the Tower's history when exotic beasts roamed the walls and a white bear, thought to be a polar bear, swam the Thames - the era of the Royal Menagerie.
