FAMOUS FIVE

A HANDFUL of new coins feature designs including the Red Arrows and the Queen Mother.

The Royal Mint's 2025 annual set, available next week, contains two 50p coins, two £2 coins and a £5 coin.

The 50p coins mark the 60th anniversary of the first Red Arrows display and commemorate those who played a pivotal role in World War II.

And two new £2 coin designs will celebrate 200 years of the modern railway and the founding of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.

The £5 coin celebrates the Queen Mum's life and legacy.

The commemorative sets will be available in a range of precious metal and base proof finishes from January 2 via the Royal Mint website, with prices starting from £39.50.

Each of the coins will also be available individually during 2025.
