The 2022 Queen Victoria 125th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary Gold Sovereign Range

Posted on May 3, 2022November 29, 2023 by Vanessa Brockwell

This will be an historic year in British royal history. Not only do we celebrate our own Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in honour of her 70 years, but we also mark the 125th Anniversary of the Diamond Jubilee of her great great grandmother, Queen Victoria! Two of the longest reigning monarchs, the impact that both of these women’s reigns have had on British society has been profound. Victoria presided over huge industrial change and expansion of the empire; Elizabeth’s reign has taken us into a whole new era of technological supremacy.

To celebrate these major commemorations for both Queens, a new series of sovereign coins has been produced to commemorate the 60-year diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria’s reign. Introducing The 2022 Queen Victoria 125th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary Gold Sovereign Range, and in particular, the one-eighth sovereign…

A brief look at the history of the ‘Graces’

Posted on March 7, 2022March 7, 2022 by Vanessa Brockwell

This year, we have been influenced by William Wyons’ classical Three Graces design for the new 2022 Her Majesty’s Graces Platinum Jubilee Gold Sovereign range, celebrating the incredible Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen.

However, what do we actually know about the ‘Graces’ and where the inspiration for the design came from? In this blog, we will be looking back at the history of the Graces.

The 2022 Her Majesty’s Graces Platinum Jubilee Gold Sovereign Range

Posted on March 3, 2022November 29, 2023 by Vanessa Brockwell

This year we celebrate an event of great magnitude and something that nobody has ever seen before: a Platinum Jubilee.

A series of gold sovereigns have already been released exclusively by Hattons of London to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II becoming the first monarch to celebrate seventy years of reign. However, this series sold out quicker than any other before, therefore, a new range is being released to celebrate Her Majesty’s greatest personal qualities that have enabled her to become such an exceptional monarch. It is these personal qualities, which are classically referred to as ‘Her Majesty’s Graces’, that are the topic of a new world-first series of gold sovereigns. Introducing The 2022 Her Majesty’s Graces Platinum Jubilee Gold Sovereign Range, and in particular, the one-eighth sovereign….

The 2022 Platinum Jubilee Monarch Platinum-Gold Sovereign Range

Posted on January 12, 2022November 29, 2023 by Emma Wilde

We are about to witness an event that has never happened before, in the entirety of British history. In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II becomes the first British monarch ever to reach a Platinum Jubilee. The nation, and the world, will join together to celebrate such a momentous milestone; a reign of 70 years, and what a reign it has been.

Not will Her Majesty be the first to reach this milestone, making her Britiain’s longest-reigning monarch, but also the oldest reigning monarch. She has reigned through the Jet Age, the Space Age, the Computer Age, and now into the Internet Age, and through all of the decades, she has managed her role as monarch and mother with style, grace, and compassion.

To commemorate an event of this magnitude, it requires a gold sovereign coin that will also ‘stand the test of time’. And even putting to one side the significance of the event they celebrate; this is amongst the most highly significant sovereign range ever released. It will stand apart in the same way Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee does.
