Own the world’s first seven-sided gold one-eighth Sovereign, for the Anniversary of Decimalisation, yours for just £69*
This year marks fifty years since decimalisation in Britain in 1971. The biggest single change to our currency, it brought an end to over a thousand years of pounds, shillings and pence. There are now entire generations who don’t know that twelve pennies could make a shilling, and twenty shillings could make a pound. They have known only decimal coinage and centuries of our history and tradition have passed them by.
WORLD FIRST! - This anniversary is of great importance to the history of British coinage, and that’s why an exceptional coin has been produced in fact, it’s the first time a coin of this type has ever been struck!
The coin is the world’s first seven-sided one-eighth sovereign coin - the very first of its kind to feature seven sides! This is in tribute to the decimal fifty pence coin which, when it was introduced over 50 years ago for decimal changeover, was the first seven sided coin the world had ever seen.
IMPORTANT DESIGN - The design of this new coin pairs one of our favourite predecimal coin designs (the Tudor Portcullis from the brass threepence) with a favourite decimal design (the bust of Britannia from the decimal fifty pence). This design is by the talented artist Matt Dent, creator of the designs on Britain’s current circulating 1p to
£1 coins: the ‘jigsaw’ of the Shield of Arms. This important new design by Mr Dent gives this coin increased appeal to collectors, and is a significant link between the new coin, and the coinage change it celebrates.

The fact this is a world first, and the importance of the event it commemorates, is why the mintage of just 4,999 coins is likely to be subject to considerable demand. The significance of this mintage is that fewer than one-in-five-thousand UK households can own one.
You can ensure your household is one of those that is successful by ordering today at the introductory price of £69 (plus £4.99 P&P) - but this price is available only until 30th September 2021. After this, the price will be £99, subject to availability. There is a limit of one per household at this introductory price, and this offer is not available elsewhere.
Guaranteed to sell-out - Availability of this coin ends on 31st October 2021 and at that time, any unsold coins (if any) will be melted down. A new certificate will be issued to all owners with the final mintage, which may be lower, or even considerably lower, than 4,999. This ensures there will be little or no surplus of this coin on the secondary market, reinforcing the rarity of the coin you have purchased.
