In an age filled with television, social media and all of the technology we could ask for, it’s hard to imagine a time where people couldn’t ‘virtually’ see each other, including their own Monarch or leader.
However, centuries ago most people would have only seen the face of their leader on a coin, with the obverse side depicting the image of a monarch or leader for thousands of years. We’ll be taking a look back at coin portraiture throughout the ages, and how dramatically this has changed.
Winston Churchill was born on the 30th November 1874 and sadly passed away on 24th January 1965 at 90 years old. Most people remember him as the prime minister who led Britain to victory during World War II. But what else do you know about this remarkable man? Here are nine facts that you might find interesting…

Throughout this blog, we will be exploring the different ranges that have been created by this exceptionally talented artist.
As we celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, it’s worth remembering that this was sadly brought about by the death of her father, King George VI on 6th February 1952. Remembered for ruling through the Second World War, George only reigned for 16 years, but in those years, he became one of the more notable monarchs in modern British history.
King George VI, previously known as Prince Albert, Duke of York, could not have foreseen he would become our monarch but the shock abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, meant that ‘Bertie’ was forced to assume the role on 11th December 1936. From his poor health, to the almighty perils he faced during the War, there was certainly more to George VI than his notorious stammer.
We’re taking a look at six facts that you may not know…
We are about to witness an event that has never happened before, in the entirety of British history. In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II becomes the first British monarch ever to reach a Platinum Jubilee. The nation will join together to celebrate such a momentous milestone; a reign of 70 years, and what a reign it has been.
Not will Her Majesty be the first to reach this milestone, making her our longest-reigning monarch, but she is also our oldest reigning monarch. She has reigned through the Jet Age, the Space Age, the Computer Age, and now into the Internet Age, and through all of the decades, she has managed her role as monarch and mother with style, grace, and compassion.
To commemorate an event of this magnitude, it requires a gold sovereign coin that will also ‘stand the test of time’. And even putting to one side the significance of the event they celebrate; this is amongst the most highly significant sovereign range ever released. It will stand apart in the same way Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee does.
