2001 Royal Mint The 100th Anniversary of Marconi's 1st Wireless Transmission across the Atlantic, PIEDFORT Silver Proof Two Pound £2 coin, in the Royal Mint black box of issue, with COA.

 

Guglielmo Marconi is undoubtedly one of the best-known names of the twentieth century. His association with the development of radio has made him deservedly famous and the year, 2001, provided the opportunity to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of his first wireless transmission across the Atlantic.

It was an immense achievement that has brought lasting benefit and the Royal Mint was proud to honour Marconi with a commemorative PIEDFORT Silver Proof £2 coin, struck in .925 Sterling Silver.
