Coin Information:

This coin was issued to mark 75 years since the death of English novelist, poet, journalist and social critic, George Orwell. He was best known for his dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four and satirical allegorical novella Animal Farm. The reverse design, created by Henry Gray in collaboration with the Orwell Foundation, features an illustration of an eye in reference to the all-seeing Brig Brother from Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the centre of the eye is a camera lens surrounded by the iconic tagline ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’. Yet another famous quote from the story serves as the coin’s edge inscription ‘THERE WAS TRUST AND THERE WAS UNTRUTH’.
