Heads we win: coin marks dedicated service

Professor Green, who served as Vice Chancellor for nine years, received the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce limited edition 150th anniversary coin from chief executive Nigel Tomlinson.

The coins are being given to a select group of people with other recipients being the Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King and Sir Bobby Charlton.

Nigel Tomlinson said: “We are delighted to present Diana with this coin for her hard work and dedication over the last decade.

“Sheffield Hallam University is a very active and supportive Chamber patron. Diana has played an influential role in developing Sheffield’s business during her time at the University and was also a key figure on the Chamber’s council.”

The Chamber has also produced 150 silver coins as part of their anniversary celebrations, which are available to purchase. Each coin is individually marked with a unique hallmark from Sheffield Assay Office, making the merchandise exclusive collectors’ items. Special Lustre silver, donated by the Assay Office, has been used by Sheffield-based Montgomery Collection to make the coins.
