In 2018 to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Frankenstein Piedfort £2 Two Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver part plated in pure 24 Carat Gold.

The reverse designed by Thomas Docherty features ECG monitor style wording of Frankenstein wh ile the obverse features the stunning Fifth Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark .
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.

Piedforts are coins which have been specially struck on thicker than normal blanks.
As their name suggests they are closely associated with France, where from the twelfth century they were apparently issued by the Kings as presentation pieces.
In Britain the practice of striking piedforts is later and less frequent, but medieval and Tudor examples are known.
