Between 1660 and 1669, Pepys kept a private diary in shorthand, never intending it for publication. In it, he recorded daily life in London with remarkable honesty - everything from politics and court gossip to his own personal flaws and ambitions. Through his eyes, we witness some of the most dramatic moments in British history:
- The Great Plague of 1665 – Pepys describes the fear, death, and eerie emptiness of London’s streets.
- The Great Fire of London (1666) – His account is one of the most vivid we have, including how he buried his valuables to save them from the flames.
- The Restoration of Charles II – He documents the return of the monarchy after years of republican rule.
This coin commeorates the 350th Anniversary of Samuel Pepys last diary entry.
