If you’re anything like me—a self-confessed science geek with a love for precious metals—you’ll understand why I couldn't resist the Royal Mint’s Innovation in Science 50p silver proof coin series. Sure, they were eye-wateringly overpriced when they launched, but sometimes logic has to bow to passion. For me, these coins weren't just collectibles—they were little pieces of human achievement, captured in pure silver.

Each release celebrates a towering figure or breakthrough in the world of science, from Stephen Hawking’s mind-bending theories of black holes to Rosalind Franklin’s critical work on DNA. And the beauty is that every coin doesn’t just commemorate history—it carries it forward, in solid, shining form.

Over the next few nights, I’ll be diving into each coin individually, looking at the science behind the design, the story of the brilliant minds they honour, and, of course, giving you a proper look at the coins themselves. Think of it as a tour through time, discovery, and a bit of silver stacking geekery thrown in for good measure.

Whether you’re already a collector, a science enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates a good excuse to own some more silver, I hope you’ll join me. I’ll do my best to make science cool (it already is, but I’ll try to make it even cooler), and who knows—you might even find yourself eyeing up these little silver tributes for your own collection.

So stay tuned, come back tomorrow night, and let's geek out together—one silver coin at a time!

I hope to not disappoint

This series is amazing! I got the insulin one ! I would love to have a coulpe of the other as well :)

The RM very rarely come up with a series that has genuinely peaked my interest... the queens beasts series(before they became too popular - and EXPENSIVE) and this series, are the few that spring dorectly to mind.

Yeah, i boight rhe Peter rabbit series, and the snowman series, for thebkids of course, but these were in hope that it would encourage mynkids to get in to precious metals. But the Science series, im keeping them just for me.
