Smartminting allows unprecedented high reliefs. This new technology has been used to create this impressive coin dedicated to the 150th anniversary of The Great Tea Race.

In 1866, some of the fastest clippers carrying cargo competed in a legendary sailing race. The aim was to transport the eagerly awaited tea crops from China to Great Britain in the shortest possible time. After 99 days on their homebound journey, the two fastest ships - the Taeping and the Ariel - arrived with a mere time difference of 25 minutes. The design of this coin is based on the oil painting by famous British maritime artist Jack Spurling. It shows the close finish between the two ships in the English Channel after a three-month head-to-head race, depicting their full sails with an astonishing high relief.

The obverse depicts Queen Elizabeth II as well as the inscription of the queens name, country of issue, and face value. This coin comes with the original packaging and certificate of authenticity.
