The Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 marked the opening shots of the American Revolutionary War — "the shot heard round the world," in Emerson's phrase. That these engagements are now commemorated by the British Royal Mint, on a coin bearing the head of a British monarch, carries an irony that would not have been lost on the minutemen who stood on Lexington Green that morning.
The two-troy-ounce format places this squarely in the Royal Mint's premium bullion-adjacent proof series, where collector premiums far exceed melt value.
