In 2012 Queen Elizabeth II will become only the second monarch in our history to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee. Who was the first? None other than Queen Victoria, whose long and prosperous reign saw Great Britain rule a quarter of the globe and lead the world in industry and invention. And the backbone of her Empire? The 22 Carat Gold Sovereign.
The 'Veiled Head' portrait was the last design change during Queen Victoria's reign. It shows a more mature portrait of Victoria wearing a veil, which she wore for long periods of her life after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.
Minted by the master craftsmen of the Royal Mint, the sovereigns of Queen Victoria's reign are arguably some of their greatest ever coins, demonstrating the tremendous level of skill that has always distinguished British coins from the rest.
Fittingly, your Sovereign will complete complete in a Deluxe Presentation Case, in order to preserve it for future generations. Coins of this distinction deserve to be treated with the utmost respect, and your display case is the perfect way to keep it safe.
Your coin will also come complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing the legitimacy and precious metal content of the Sovereign within.
