HMS Ark Royal was one of the most celebrated aircraft carriers in Royal Navy history — a name carried by five ships across the centuries, each synonymous with daring and innovation. The Second World War Ark Royal played a pivotal role in the hunt for the Bismarck, launching the Swordfish torpedo bomber attack that crippled the German battleship and sealed her fate. From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, Ark Royal was at the heart of the action wherever the Royal Navy's air power was needed most.
This gold-plated commemorative celebrates HMS Ark Royal in vivid 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 proud tribute to the carrier that punched well above her weight.
