The Royal Mint issued the Mary Seacole £5 coin in 2023 to honour the Jamaican-born British nurse and businesswoman. The coin is a commemorative issue and was produced in more than one finish.
The Royal Mint lists Martin Jennings as the obverse designer and Sandra Deiana as the reverse designer. Check the finish before comparing any price or production figure.

How much is it worth?
Value depends on the exact version, condition, presentation and demand. Compare recent completed sales of the same finish. Do not use the price of a gold or silver version to value a Brilliant Uncirculated coin.
