In what would have been her 60th birthday year Diana, Princess of Wales, celebrated by world-first gold coin.
This year would have marked the 60th birthday of Diana, Princess of Wales on July 1st. The ‘People’s Princess’, she combined beauty and compassion, and won the hearts of people around the world. She was only part of the Royal Family for a relatively short time, but in those years she quickly forged a valuable and modern role for herself. The influence of the changes she made continues to be felt even today, many years after her sudden and very tragic death.
Millions still cherish the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, which is why an important new gold one-eighth sovereign coin has been struck featuring her portrait for the very first time.
DIANA’S PORTRAIT ON
A ONE-EIGHTH GOLD SOVEREIGN - FOR THE
FIRST TIME EVER!
It may surprise you to learn that Diana has never before appeared on gold sovereign coins! It’s hard to imagine that Diana would not, at some stage, have featured on a gold sovereign, but she was only a ‘royal’ for around sixteen years, and in that time there was only one series of commemorative gold sovereign coins minted!
As a cultural icon and an inspiration to many for her humanitarian work, it’s important that her legacy lives on for future generations.
Now, in what would have been her 60th year, we have the opportunity to ‘right this wrong’ and commemorate her life and memory with gold sovereign coins that are the first of their kind, ever!
The fact these are the first gold sovereign coins ever to feature her portrait, gives these coins a significance not only to those who wish to remember Diana, but also to collectors of the sovereign series itself.
This new gold one-eighth sovereign celebrates Diana,
Princess of Wales, in what would have been her 60th birthday year. It features her portrait, for the first time ever on a oneeighth sovereign coin! Just 2,999 are being produced. It is available now for the introductory price of just £69 (plus £4.99 P&P), but only until 31st August 2021 after which the price will be £99, subject to availability. There is a limit of one coin per household at the introductory price.

SOVEREIGNS: ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS
TO BUY GOLD
The global pandemic has led many people to buy gold as a ‘safe haven’, and one of the easiest ways to buy gold is by buying gold sovereign coins. First struck in 1817, the sovereign was the greatest gold coin of its era, at one point legal tender in more than 30 nations and territories around the world. Even today, just the mention of the word ‘sovereign’ evokes feelings of pride and security in the minds of most of us.
Now long gone from circulation, sovereign coins are still struck for those wanting to own gold. They even have special tax status in Britain: they can be bought without paying VAT placing gold sovereign coins beyond the reach of even the Chancellor of the Exchequer!
FEWER THAN 1 IN 9,000 UK HOUSEHOLDS CAN OWN ONE
This new coin has a number of significant historical links that mean it will be highly soughtafter by collectors - however, many will potentially miss out as the release is subject to a strict limit.
Authorised by Ascension Island and approved by both the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Buckingham Palace, it is restricted to a mintage of just 2,999 coins - put into context, it means that fewer than 1 in every nine thousand UK households can own one.
