The original Gothic Crown coin of 1847 came about when Queen Victoria petitioned Royal Mint engraver William Wyon to create a new coin to celebrate her tenth year on the throne. Wyon sought the help of artist William Dyce in the coin’s design, and together they created what is now called the Gothic Crown. Due to the incredibly complex design elements, only 8000 coins were ever minted. The Royal Mint sold out almost immediately, and today the Gothic Crown is considered a rare treasure in the coin collecting world.

The obverse of 2021 2 oz British Gold Gothic Crown Quartered Arms Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. This design is by Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark. Clark was 33 when the design was accepted, making him the youngest engraver to have a portrait of Her Majesty chosen for coinage. Along the rim, you will find the coin’s hallmarks.

On the reverse field of the 2021 Proof British Gold Gothic Crown Quartered Arms Coin is a recreation of the Gothic Crown design. In the Gothic Revival tradition, the image shows a cruciform shield arrangement with engravings found on the Royal arms. In the background, you will find the four flowers of the United Kingdom. Along the edges are Latinate inscriptions, and in the very center are the Order of the Garter arms.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom’s coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.

A Millennia of Minting

Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.

The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.

In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.

Collecting and Investing

The Royal Mint’s commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.

The Royal Mint’s commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.
