The 2019 The Engagement Gold Sovereign
Surely one of the most exciting moments of 2018 was when His Royal Highness Prince Harry married his beautiful American bride, Meghan Markle, at Her Majesty the Queen’s favourite weekend residence, Windsor Castle. It was a truly global event, with millions watching all round the world, but all the more special for our two nations, Britain and the US.
A year on, and we are celebrating again – this time, the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new baby, Archie, the first US Royal in history! Archie is Queen Elizabeth II’s seventh great-grandchild and also seventh in line to the throne. Never before has there been an American heir to the British throne!
To coincide with the birth of their first child, a new gold sovereign coin has been minted in Britain to celebrate Harry and Meghan – The 2019 The Engagement Gold Sovereign.
The coin celebrates the moment the couple became engaged – an historic moment which destined Meghan to become a new Duchess, and for their child to become the first US heir to the British throne in history!
Fewer than 1 in every 25,000 U.S. households can own this new gold sovereign coin
Struck in solid 22 carat gold, the sovereign has been Britain’s premier coin since it was first issued in 1817 in the reign of King George III. Although Britain no longer uses sovereign coins in everyday circulation, special commemorative issues are still struck to the same historic gold purity as they have always been, making this new gold sovereign part of that 200 year tradition.
Coin collectors and gold buyers around the world are in a state of excitement about this new coin: however, the mintage has been restricted to just 4,999 coins. This means that fewer than 1 in every 25,000 U.S. households can own one.
Only one sovereign coin will ever be the first to feature the Engagement of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – and right now you have the opportunity to acquire it!
This is one of only 4,999 of these gold sovereigns minted in Britain, and once these landmark coins are gone, there will be no more available.
