| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design by Gordon Summers depicting a hand taking a patient's pulse, evoking Florence Nightingale's nursing vocation. The background features stylised radiating rays of light emanating from a lamp, symbolic of the 'Lady with the Lamp' iconography associated with Nightingale. The dates 1820 and 1910, denoting her birth and death years, flank the central motif, while the legend arcs above and below the design. The engraver's initials GS appear in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the centenary of Florence Nightingale's death in 1910, this piedfort doubles the standard two-pound coin's thickness, a format the Royal Mint has used since reviving the piedfort tradition in 1982 for collector issues. Nightingale died on August 13, 1910, aged ninety, having spent her final decades largely bedridden — a prolonged decline that did nothing to slow her influence on nursing reform and hospital sanitation policy.
Piedforts from this period were struck at Llantrisant. Mintage for the silver piedfort was capped at 3,500.
