| Beschrijving keerzijde | Detailed architectural depiction of the Neoclassical façade of the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, London, showcasing the building's iconic portico with its Corinthian columns, triangular pediment, and crowning dome rendered with fine engraved detail. The composition fills the inner field, with the lower portion of the colonnade extending to the rim, while a circular halo of polished gold highlights the central dome against the frosted ground. The commemorative legend 200 YEARS OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY arcs across the upper border of the outer ring. The engraver's initials BE appear in the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The National Gallery in London celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2024, having opened in 1824 with a founding collection of just 38 paintings purchased from the estate of banker John Julius Angerstein. The Royal Mint has issued commemorative coinage tied to major cultural anniversaries with increasing frequency since the 1990s, though gold proof versions of such issues are struck in strictly limited numbers for the collector market and see no circulation whatsoever.
The .9167 fineness is the traditional 22-carat crown gold standard the Royal Mint has used for bullion and proof issues for centuries.
