One of the rarest achievements for an English Monarch is to reach their Golden Jubilee. 50 years on the throne, it seems, is an era-defining accomplishment – in fact, in the history of the British Monarchy only five rulers have ever reached this milestone, and only two have celebrated it properly. Now you have a chance to own the definitive numismatic tribute to these two great monarchs with the Golden Jubilee 22 Carat Gold Sovereign Set.
The 1887 Queen Victoria Golden Jubilee Sovereign
The first coin in your set is the 22 Carat Gold Sovereign issued in 1887 for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. To mark the occasion, the coin was graced with a new obverse portrait design by Joseph Edgar Boehm, leading people to call this coin the ‘Jubilee Head’ Sovereign.
Now over 125 years old, your coin still demonstrates the remarkable craftsmanship that went into the production of this coin. The level of detail is quite outstanding – truly a fitting commemoration of Queen Victoria’s lifetime of service.
The 2002 Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Sovereign
The next coin in your set is the highly sought after 2002 Gold Sovereign. Only the second 22 Carat Gold Sovereign to feature a Royal Shield for over a century, this distinctive coin was issued to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee.
An instant classic upon its release with its new design, the fact that this was only the second Golden Jubilee Sovereign in history led to a scramble for the small quantity issued by the Royal Mint.
Your Golden Jubilee 22 Carat Gold Sovereign Set will arrive complete in a Deluxe Wooden Presentation Case, with an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing their age and Gold content.
Remember, these two coins are the only Golden Jubilee Sovereigns ever issued, so their place in British history is assured.
