British Monarchs Collection

HERITAGE AUCTIONS OFFERS NEW SERIES FROM THE ROYAL MINT HONORING MORE THAN 20 ICONIC RULERS

Enlarge

The Royal Mint, one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the world, has struck coins for every British monarch for the last millennium, creating some of the most iconic coins in the history of numismatics. Beginning this year, the Royal Mint will celebrate this legacy with a unique series of coins honoring the Royal Houses and their unique numismatic portraiture. Heritage Auctions, as an official distributor of the Royal Mint, is able to offer the 1-ounce gold coins in this modern numismatic series exclusively to its clients.

The British Monarchs Collection will be a multiyear project that highlights coins of every ruler from the Houses of the Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians, and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha & Windsor, with 21 different issues in total. Using the highest-quality example available from the collection of The Royal Mint Museum as a basis for the design, each coin in the series will reflect the best contemporary workmanship for that monarch’s coins as they were originally struck, reworked to modern standards. The series will allow one to trace the evolution of British minting techniques and artistic style over the last half millennium, from the hammered coinage of Henry VII in the 15th century to where we are today with the coins of Queen Elizabeth II, struck with the most cutting-edge technology.

Henry VII

The first coin in the British Monarchs Collection celebrates the legacy of the patriarch of the House of Tudor, Henry VII. Based on his iconic “profile issue” groats, the design stays true to the style and fabric of the time, but it is rendered in such a way to make it clear for the modern audience.
