Comments

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is the largest charity that saves lives at sea around the coasts of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as well as on some inland waterways.

 

Founded in 1824 as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, it soon afterwards became the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck under the patronage of King George IV. On 5 October 1854, the institution’s name was changed to its current name (RNLI), and in 1860 was granted a royal charter.

 

The coin was issued as part of the Annual Commemorative Proof (7,500 issue limit), Premium Commemorative Proof (2,024 issue limit) and Brilliant Uncirculated Commemorative sets for 2023. In addition, the Brilliant Uncirculated strike was issued individually on 05/02/2024 (sales unknown). The design was also struck in silver proof and gold proof as well as with colourisation.
