This 5 Pounds coin issued for Gibraltar and the Millennium is supposedly the first coin ever struck out of pure Titanium. The 5 Pound issue can also be found in Virenium and silver, but the titanium coin is shown with a higher value in KM than either of the other two even though the silver coin has 1/5 the estimated number of coins struck (25 k vs 5k). The official GMT logo is found on this issue (2/000). See IOM for another Pobjoy mint issue that features a portion of the original brass Meridian line from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Sealed in the original capsule this piece shows hairlines on the proof surfaces from the mint.
