Why do we love the release of new bullion coins? Aren\u2019t they just similar variations of the same thing with no real added value on last year\u2019s addition? Absolutely not! If you speak to any serious coin investor or collector, you\u2019ll realise that each coin comes with so much more than just its monetary value attributed to its precious metal weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it is heritage, design or reputation, there are many things that contribute to the excitement of a newly released bullion coin. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the most recent coins of note that are coming to the market in the next few weeks and months. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 2019 Silver Britannia<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s so special about the new 2019 Silver Britannia<\/span><\/a>? Well, much of its significance has to do with its relationship with British \u2013 and to a larger extent Western \u2013 history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the female personification of the British Isles, Britannia has long been an iconic figure associated with coinage in Europe. This started from the Roman\u2019s usage of her visage on bronze coins in the 1<\/span>st<\/sup><\/span> Century AD.<\/span><\/p>\n

This distinctive image later became associated with Britain\u2019s strength and durability, embodying certain characteristics fundamental to the nation\u2019s idea of Empire and global authority. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years we\u2019ve seen several alterations take place to this classic design. To highlight Britain\u2019s maritime trade and history, Britannia was even depicted holding a trident rather than a spear, further connecting this fascinating coin to the nation\u2019s past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many believe that the reason this coin in particular has stood the test of time is Britannia\u2019s resemblance to the numerous Queens who have ruled Britain over the course of its history. To this day the monarch retains a certain amount of relevance that has since dissipated in other countries, but as the UK still holds much regard for its royals, it\u2019s perhaps no surprise that Britannia holds a special place for us too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now more than ever, Britain is evaluating its role in the world and its relationship with Europe, and as this happens, the silver Britannia coin takes on a whole new meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Investors and collectors will surely want to make the recent addition to the Britannia range a part of their own collections and investment portfolios in addition to other editions released over the past such as the 2018 Silver Britannia<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To explore more Britannia coins<\/span><\/a>, take a look at our full range to see how this popular design has been adapted throughout years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2019 UK Sovereign<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

First produced during the reign of King Henry VII, the Sovereign bullion coin was designed as a testament to British strength and wealth. To project an image of authority and standard across the nation and beyond, the coin adopted the title \u2018sovereign\u2019 to honour the King\u2019s desire for his monarchy to be recognised far and wide as a symbol of prosperity. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, it still holds a prestigious place in the gold bullion market with associations with the highest-quality coin design and wealth. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was only later, after England\u2019s defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, that the iconic symbol of St George and the Dragon became featured on the design. Still featured on today\u2019s Sovereign coins including the recent 2019 gold Sovereign<\/span><\/a>, the image designed by engraver Benedetto Pistrucci signifies unwavering bravery and loyalty as suggested by the ancient tale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The archetypal story of good triumphing over evil in the form of Pistrucci\u2019s coin design, became recognised in more than 20 countries and featured on almost every Sovereign bullion coin of the 20th Century. Once known as \u2018the chief coin in the world\u2019, it still holds much intrinsic sentiment and value as a worthy investment and symbol of British heritage. <\/span><\/p>\n

It has been argued that no other gold bullion coin comes with the same certainties of value, weight and accuracy \u2013 as it continues to be made with the same amount of attention to detail and standardisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got a whole range of gold bullion Sovereigns in our range including the 1902-1910 Gold Half Sovereign (King Edward VIII)<\/span><\/a> and 2018 gold Sovereigns<\/span><\/a>, so visit our main site to take a look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian Mint Mark Sovereign<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In order for the British Empire to distinguish between the various Royal Mints once located around the world under the umbrella of colonial dominance, gold Sovereigns were marked with a symbol to indicate the city or country of their origin. <\/span><\/p>\n

As such, the letter \u201cI\u201d was stamped above bullion coins issued by the Indian Government\u2019s Mint established in Bombay by the Royal Mint in 1918. Although initially only open for a year, it produced a considerable batch of coins. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2013, the Royal Mint licenced MMTC-PAMP India to produce a commemorative Sovereign in India that eventually became a big part of traditional Indian ceremonies and celebrations, such as Indian wedding ceremonies and festivals, where gold bullion Sovereigns are a highly-prized and desired gift item. <\/span><\/p>\n

This historic coin is now one of the most popular additions to the bullion market with a unique history. To solidify its value, there is also a huge demand from Indian consumers for this coin that see more than just the market value in the item.<\/span><\/p>\n
