Emma Saunders, head of brand licensing and business development at Historic Royal Palaces, said: “With the success of the first Tower of London series we are thrilled to be continuing to work with The Royal Mint on this second Tower of London series and delving yet further into the stories of the Tower’s extraordinary past.

“As the oldest building on the Tower of London site, and the seat of William the Conqueror, the White Tower is a fitting start to the new collection.”
