Comment
In 1998 the RAM released this NCLT Fine Silver (.999) coin celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Lord Baron Howard Florey. The coin was released in a capsule in a square plush box. This silver version had, at the time, the new Ian Rank Broadly effigy of the Queen on the obverse side.
