The London Eye transformed the capital's skyline when it opened at the turn of the millennium — a graceful giant wheel rising 135 metres above the South Bank of the Thames. From its glass capsules, visitors take in a breathtaking panorama that stretches from the spires of Westminster to the towers of the City and beyond. In just a quarter of a century, it has become as much a symbol of modern London as Big Ben or Tower Bridge are of the city's past.
This gold-plated commemorative captures the modern marvel in sleek detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in 24 carat gold and weighs 10.5 grams — a shining tribute to one of the most popular attractions in Britain.
