On offer is a 2004 Piedfort Silver 50 Pence coin. 50th Anniversary of the Four Minute Mile. " Piedfort are coins which have been struck on thicker than normal blanks. As their name suggests, they have close associations with France, where from the twelfth century they were apparently issued by the king as presentation pieces. In Britain the practice of striking Piedforts is later and less frequent but medieval and Tudor examples are known." This coin weighs 16 grammes. Only 7,500 of these have been issued. If final bid exceeds £41 then Post Office charge for Special Delivery will be applied.
