In Britain, the tradition of the Gold Sovereign coin goes back to the year 1489, a coin to be minted annually in the name of the reigning British monarch. This august tradition of the Royal Mint sees a particularly special issue in the year 2022, which saw the first-ever celebration of a Platinum Jubilee to mark seventy full years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Her passing in September of the same year marked the end of an era for generations of British subjects for whom she was the only monarch they had ever known, and thus the 2022 Great Britain Gold Five Sovereign Coin is also the commemoration of an extraordinary royal legacy.
Coin Highlights:
Queen Elizabeth II's reign was the longest ever seen for a British monarch, and the Second Elizabethan Era saw momentous cultural shifts and political developments as only the tumultuous modern age could deliver, including everything from Moon landings and the rise of rock and roll to Britain's accession to (and exit from) the European Union. Through it all, the Queen expertly piloted the Royal Family through an increasingly-sophisticated landscape of modern media and public scrutiny, making her an ineluctable symbol of royalty and British identity. Her Platinum Jubilee was a four-month international event that proved to be a capstone to a remarkable reign.
The 2022 Great Britain Gold Five Sovereign Coin celebrates the late monarch in 22-carat gold with a Brilliant Uncirculated quality that provides original-mint luster. Featuring an unusual reverse-side design and high-relief artwork, it ships in a handsome wooden presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The coin's obverse side features an effigy of the Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. She is accompanied by a continuous surrounding inscription of the Royal Legend "ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRA · REGINA · FID · DEF," abbreviating the full text ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSATRIX.
The reverse side, in an unusual feature for a Sovereign coin, is dominated by Timothy Noad's interpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms, with the year of issue inscribed below.
