Minted to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria, the 2019 Sovereign Gold Proof coin is the very first Sovereign to be issued in over 400 years of The East India Company’s history. Queen Victoria was declared Empress of India in 1877 adopting India, previously under "Company Rule" into the British Empire.
Containing a One, Half Sovereign and Quarter Gold Sovereigns struck in perfect proof finish, each 2021 Sovereign Gold Proof Three Coin Set is accompanied by EIC’s Luxury Presentation case with lift-up display, booklet and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
The set includes the 2019 Sovereign, Half Sovereign and Quarter Sovereign Gold Proof Coins and is strictly limited to just 500 sets worldwide. Each coin features one of Queen Victoria’s most beautiful coin designs, faithfully engraved by our expert craftsmen to create the most prestigious Sovereign collection of 2019. Each coin in the series features the inscription - DIRIGE DEUS GRESSUS MEOS - translated to May God Direct My Steps, as found on Queen Victoria’s Five Pound piece issued in 1837 famously known as Una and the Lion.
Each obverse is uniquely different, which can be seen by examining the beading around the respective coin edge. |
