2012 Sovereigns Jubilee

The Diamond Jubilee 2012 gold sovereign reverse has been designed by Paul Day, a British sculptor presently residing in France. The 2012 sovereign is actually Paul’s first design with the Royal Mint. The design and style has been selected from a group of several designers whom presented for the Royal Mint Advisory Committee due to a design competition which included five designers.

It seems particularly appropriate that Paul Day has being selected to design the 2012 gold sovereign since within some of his many inspired works he was the designer of the Battle of Britain Memorial in London. A bronze monument for the accomplishments of the RAF Fighter Command and also the men and women of Greater London throughout World War II. It is upon Victoria Embankment in London overlooking the River Thames in central London, It was Launched in September 2005 which is the 65th anniversary of the Battle by HRH Prince Charles and had been commissioned by the Battle of Britain Historical Society and financed by way of public subscription. Both friezes having a plaque inscribed with all the names of the 2.936 pilots as well as ground crew coming from Great Britain and fourteen additional nations

The 2012 Diamond Jubilee gold sovereign is a great chance to acquire a piece of Gold history. The new design which is a modern reworking of the George and Dragon theme will not be to everyone's taste, however we believe it is stunning. More essential however is that the 2012 sovereigns will be available for one year only. This makes them a must have sovereign coin for the collector and a great opportunity for a gold investor wishing to purchase multiples of this coin.

Let me explain the reason why this is unquestionably an even better gold investment than normal. The previous gold sovereign to be issued for one year only, was the Timothy Noad award winning 2005 sovereign designed with the St George & Dragon reverse. The bullion version of this coin is already becoming very scarce and prices can be nearly 50% more than the normal yearly issue sovereigns.

Going back a little further to 1989 we had the one year only 500th Anniversary gold sovereign designed by Bernard Sindali with the shield of the Royal Arms ensigned by an open Royal Crown. Today in proof condition these are selling for well over £1000 UK Sterling.

These one year only designs genuinely capture the collectors imagination and the prices take off. Therefore, purchase at least one of the new 2012 sovereigns and keep hold of it. Preferably buy several. Although the 2012 sovereign coin that in all likelihood will skyrocket in price will be the proof version, in its original package along with associated documents. That is certainly a keeper.
