2016-2022 Queen Elizabeth II Gold Sovereigns BUNC + Capsulated with Luxury Case

Queen Elizabeth II 1952-

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926)[a] is Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth was born in London, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and she was educated privately at home. Her father ascended the throne on the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In 1947, she married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she has four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

Elizabeth has occasionally faced republican sentiments and press criticism of the royal family, in particular after the breakdown of her children's marriages, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the death in 1997 of her former daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales. However, in the United Kingdom, support for the monarchy has been and remains consistently high, as does her personal popularity.

Queen Elizabeth II Sovereigns (New Portrait) 2016 - 2022

Obverse: The fifth definitive portrait of Her Majesty The Queen was unveiled 2nd March 2015. The design is by Jody Clark, who aged 33, is the youngest artist to have achieved this honour. The design was selected via a competition, commissioned by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee, which invited Royal Mint engravers and designers, along with specially invited artists from the public, to submit their designs.

Reverse: St.George mounted with sword attacking the dragon, streamer flowing from St George's helmet. The date appears below the exergue line at the bottom with the letters B.P. to the right. The 2017 sovereign features a shield mint mark denoting the 200th anniversary of the modern Sovereign.

Reverse 2022 only : A special reverse design to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II, who in 2022 will mark her 70th year as Queen. To mark the occasion, renowned Royal Mint sculptor Timothy Noad famed for his one off designs of the 2002 and 2005 Sovereigns has reworked the royal coat of arms to produce a very special coin.

The example you will receive will be 'uncirculated' - and will have been struck at the Royal mint's HQ at Liantrisant, Cardiff, Wales, after the closure of the Tower Mint in London in 1975.

These date examples are ideal as presents or will allow entire date run series to be collected at a pace which suits buyers.
