A coin to mark the birth, 160 years ago of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is said his works revolutionised the crime genre, and despite Doyle sharing an ambivalent relationship with his famous character, Holmes’ popularity resulted in Doyle becoming one of the best-paid authors of the time. Doyle's most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes, is shown in silouhette on the reverse with small text surrounding him listing the titles of the Sherlock Holmes series of publications.
