Own a piece of Royal Air Force history with the officially licensed Hawker Hurricane Silver Propeller Coin
In homage to the legendary Hawker Hurricane — this is the second coin to be released in the world-first mechanical Silver coin series — The Legends of the RAF Hawker Hurricane Silver Coin is officially licensed by the Royal Air Force.
Designed by aviation pioneer Sydney Camm, the Hurricane became the backbone of Britain’s aerial defence during WWII, renowned for its resilience and firepower. It was built to withstand heavy fire and sustain substantial damage while still bringing pilots safely back home, earning itself the reputation as the sturdy "shire horse" of the RAF. The Hurricane was responsible for approximately 60% of the RAF's air victories during the Battle of Britain. It has become a living emblem of the British fighting spirit—an aircraft defined by tenacity, grit, and unwavering courage. It symbolized a steadfast resolve to endure, no matter the odds, mirroring the resilience of those who piloted it and the nation it defended.
Capturing the indomitable spirit of the Hawker Hurricane with an ingenious twist
In tribute to this iconic aircraft, an exclusive three-ounce silver coin has been crafted under official license with the Royal Air Force. Marrying the minters’ art with technical excellence, The Legends of the Royal Air Force Hawker Hurricane Coin incorporates a perfectly engineered nose cone of a Hurricane. But what is even more incredible is that the propeller blades rotate!
Following the sell-out of the debut Supermarine Spitfire edition, issued with the Royal Air Force, this new edition celebrates the legendary Hawker Hurricane. Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to add the coveted Hurricane cand a piece of RAF history to your collection!
Three troy ounces of solid sterling silver with a mechanical rotating propeller
Crafted in three-ounces of 925 sterling silver, the coin diameter is sized at 50mm (60mm including the propeller blade), larger than a regular coin, and struck to an almost proof-like finish. The design shows a viewpoint of the iconic Hawker Hurricane from front on. The immaculate finish allows every detail of the coin design to stand out with remarkable clarity due to the care and attention of craftsmen in producing the master tools.
This is a legal tender solid silver coin — albeit one that collectors will never wish to spend — and as such the obverse (the heads side of the coin) bears the portrait of King Charles III, the denomination, and issuing authority designation.
As exclusive as it is technically brilliant, the mintage of this legal-tender issue is a mere 86 worldwide
Our in-house coin experts, with over 40 years of combined experience in numismatics, have never seen a coin like this before — each coin has been meticulously hand-crafted by skilled craftsmen and modellers. Due to the complexities of making this world-first Silver coin, just 86 have been issued for worldwide release.
Available exclusively from Heritage Coins , the ultra-low edition limit and official Royal Air Force approval status are attested to by the uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity which accompanies each edition. Completing the presentation, each coin is beautifully presented within a bespoke presentation box.
