2 Pounds 100 Anniversary of the birth of Donald Campbell - Bluebird K7, Silver Proof

Donald Campbell set the world water speed record seven times between 1955 and 1964, all in successive versions of the Bluebird K7 hydroplane — a run of dominance unmatched in the sport's history. His fatal attempt on Coniston Water in January 1967 came while chasing 300 mph; the K7 somersaulted at an estimated 320 mph on the return run. Campbell's body and the wreck were not recovered until 2001, thirty-four years after the crash.

Guernsey has no particular geographic or administrative connection to Campbell, who was from Surrey.
