Part of the Great British Achievements collection, this .999 silver plated commemorative celebrates the jet engine — the revolutionary invention patented by Sir Frank Whittle in 1930 and first tested in 1937. Whittle's breakthrough transformed aviation, making high-speed air travel a reality and cementing Britain's place at the forefront of aerospace engineering.
Struck to a proof-like finish and measuring 32mm in diameter, this commemorative honours an invention that changed the skies forever. Presented in its own collector's card, it makes a perfect addition to the Great British Achievements series.
