The New Centenary of Queen Elizabeth Solid Gold Proof Coin (SOTD)

Struck in Solid 9-Carat Gold to the most pristine Proof finish on Tuesday 21st April only, an official NEW gold coin marks one hundred years since Her Majesty’s birth in London’s Mayfair in 1926. Officially approved by Buckingham Palace, the NEW Centenary of Queen Elizabeth II Solid Gold Proof Coin is the work of leading engraver Jody Clark who is best known for designing the United Kingdom’s fifth official coinage portrait of the monarch. On the reverse, Britain’s longest-serving sovereign is depicted in evening attire which includes a stunning Cartier necklace and a head-dress featuring the four floral emblems of the British Isles, the Rose, the Thistle, the Daffodil and the Shamrock. Her official cypher and a crown inspired by the St Edward’s Crown, also appear on the design while on the obverse is an official portrait, also by Clark, of Charles III, the Queen’s successor. Unique ONE-DAY-ONLY strikes are sought-after for their low mintages and collectability but just 499 gold coins are available, exclusively at The Jubilee Mint, in this historic Royal year as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s enduring legacy. Comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its unique strike date and strict edition limit.
