2022 Great Britain 1.997-gm Gold Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Quarter Sovereign Proof
First Sovereign Series To Feature King Charles III
During a 1947 overseas tour, Elizabeth II read a short speech that was broadcast throughout the British Commonwealth on her 21st birthday. While not yet queen, the young 21-year-old princess famously said, “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” No one knew at the time that her services would encompass a reign of more than 70 years making Elizabeth II’s reign the longest by any British monarch. To mark her passing in 2022 and to pay tribute to her legacy, Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint released a series of Gold Sovereign coins that not only celebrated the life of the beloved monarch, but also were the first sovereigns to feature the portrait of her son and successor, King Charles III.
Design Symbolic of Change In British Monarchy
Here you can secure the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Gold Quarter Sovereign struck in 1.997 grams of highly pure 91.67% fine gold. In addition to the brand-new effigy of King Charles III, the coin’s reverse shows the Royal Arms instead of the traditional Benedetto Pistrucci design featuring Saint George slaying the dragon. The Royal Arms is a combination of the arms of the former kingdoms that make up the United Kingdom and can be traced back to the first arms of the kings of England and Scotland. It shows a crowned lion on the left and a unicorn on the right supporting a shield divided into four quarters. The quarters represent the symbols of Ireland, England, and Scotland. The significance of the design change signals that Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy is assured as the monarchy boldly embarks on its future in the 21st Century.
