Samuel Pepys Diary

Pepys’ diary offers a detailed and personal account of the 1660s. Samuel Pepys brought an end to the diary on 31 May 1669 because he was concerned that writing in low light was causing him to go blind. Now, 350 years after that last entry, we celebrate the man and his remarkable diary.

From the first entry to the last, the diary of Samuel Pepys is a revelation. Beginning in 1660, it gives a vivid insight into a key period in British history. The diary entries illuminate the coronation of Charles II, the Great Fire of London, the Great Plague, the Second Dutch War as well as life in London and England during the Restoration. On every page and with every recorded event, Pepys’ passion for life comes through.

Fearing he was losing his sight, Pepys brought his diary to a close on 31 May 1669.

Now, 350 years after the last diary entry, the Royal Mint has struck a £2 coin featuring a design by Gary Breeze in celebration of this moment.
