In 2005 to celebrate the Athens Olympic Games, the Royal Mint released a very special Return to Athens Spain £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse depicts the flag of the country of Spain while the obverse has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
