In 1989, a British scientist working at CERN proposed a system for sharing information that would change civilisation itself. Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web — not for profit, not for fame, but as a gift to humanity. His creation connected billions of people, democratised knowledge, and reshaped commerce, communication, and culture in ways still unfolding today. No single invention in modern history has touched more lives.
This silver-plated commemorative honours the man who wired the world together. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 28.5mm piece is plated in .999 fine silver and weighs 9.5 grams, celebrating the architect of the connected age.
