In June last year a world record price of £460,000 was paid for a British coin. The coin was a gold ‘double leopard’ from the reign of King Edward III, and it was the ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND outside the British Museum.
Only from The London Mint office, can you own one of just 5,000 newly struck reproductions of this coin, each one in 22 carat gold and individually numbered and hallmarked - for just £119 - a saving of £116 on the regular release price!
Limited striking of 5,000 pieces – every one of them uniquely edge-numbered
The new strike King Edward III Double Leopard in solid 22 carat gold is the first in a prestigious new collection that will reproduce Britain’s most historic and valuable coins. While the collection itself has been approved for an edition of 15,000 sets, this first piece has been restricted to an edition of just 5,000 and each of these are being numbered to validate their authenticity.
The new strike King Edward III Double Leopard is the first in a collection which will enable you to own millions of pounds worth of history. Appropriately named ‘The Millionaires Collection GOLD EDITION’ it will consist of new strikes of some of Britain’s most significant and valuable coins, always crafted in beautiful 22 carat gold.
The coins represented in this collection are so expensive that for all but the wealthiest individuals, owning them is out of reach. Some of the actual coins are so rare that, regardless of the wealth at your disposal, you would still never be able to own one of them. Which is a shame because these are among our nation’s most important and historic of coins – part of the reason they are so expensive.
