GREAT BRITAIN: (1952-Present Day) Queen Elizabeth II 2019 Silver 1oz Bullion 2 Pound 'Trial Of the Pyx' with 'Pig Privy' As one of the nation's longest established judicial ceremonies (1282), the Trial of the Pyx has a fascinating history. The ceremony involves the Chancellor of the Exchequer (or nominated representative), financial leaders, Royal Mint representatives and freeman of the Worshipful Company 'The Goldsmiths Company'. The word 'Pyx' comes from the Latin word 'pyxis' or small box. Used to transport the coins thorough out the year to endure a procedure that has barely changed since the reign of Henry III. Beautifully presented folder from the Royal Mint. NB This lot is protected by a hidden reserve, which if not met naturally during the pre-bidding stage will be offered for purchase in the Live Auction.
