Comment
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is the largest charity that saves lives at sea around the coasts of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as well as on some inland waterways.
Founded in 1824 as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, it soon afterwards became the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck under the patronage of King George IV. On 5 October 1854, the institution’s name was changed to its current name (RNLI), and in 1860 was granted a royal charter.
Issued individually, with an issue limit of 4,510, the coin was also released by the Royal Dutch Mint in a 2-coin set with a 5 euro coin celebrating a similar landmark for the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Organization (KNRM).
