- Paying tribute to the life and legacy of George Orwell with a coin featuring a reverse design that portrays key themes of Orwell’s writings
- Artist Henry Gray has cleverly inserted what looks like an eye, but is in fact a camera lens, in the centre of his design
- Taken from 1984, the quote ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’ encircles the lens on the reverse of the coin
- Another quote from the novel, ‘THERE WAS TRUTH AND THERE WAS UNTRUTH’, serves as the coin’s edge inscription
- Created with the support of the Orwell Foundation, an independently registered charity officially sanctioned by the Orwell Estate
- Accompanied by packaging that explores Orwell’s life and notable works
