Incredibly timely, as the world slowly shifts out of a global pandemic, this official Royal Mint UK collector coin honours Edward Jenner, the man who tested, and proved the effectiveness of a Smallpox vaccine in 1796. His efforts went on to save millions of lives and allowed the World Health Organisation to declare Smallpox as officially eradicated.
Featuring a clever design of a smallpox cell, surrounded by representations of the many many lives the vaccine has saved, this is an excellent collectable and tribute to an important historical figure.
Available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and housed in typically informative Royal Mint packaging.
