2022 Great Britain 1 oz Gold The Gold Standard BU
This 2022 gold coin from the United Kingdom celebrates a pivotal monetary milestone, marking two centuries since the gold standard was functionally established in Britain. The historical journey toward this system involved key moments, including a 1717 report on the gold guinea by Sir Isaac Newton, the introduction of a circulating gold coin via the Coinage Act of 1816, and the eventual full operation of the gold standard by 1821. Originally conceptualized in 2016, this modern release brings that rich monetary legacy to life. Struck in one ounce of 0.9999 fine gold, the coin features artistry on both sides. The obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, alongside the official face value of 100 Pounds. On the reverse, a design by graphic artist Dominique Evans highlights the theme of the series, accompanied by inscriptions denoting the year 2022, the weight, and the high purity of the precious metal.
