About This Coin

The Penny Drops 2026 UK £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

Issued as part of The Great British Treasure Hunt, The Penny Drops is a modern UK £5 crown-sized collector coin designed to be more than a keepsake: it’s also a functional “key” that interacts with an online, puzzle-led experience. In other words, it’s numismatics with a side of escape-room energy.
