| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 170th anniversary of the Metropolitan Police Service's detective branch — the Criminal Investigation Department was formally established in 1878 following public outrage over the handling of the Lefroy railway murder case. Scotland Yard's institutional relationship with commemorative coinage is long-standing, but CID anniversaries have rarely prompted a dedicated issue at this level.
