Gold UK Last Round Pound Coin
With a limited mintage of just 500 coins in this presentation, this coin is a valuable collectors item, minted in 2016 to commemorate the end of the round pound. The round pound had been in circulation since April of 1983, acting as arguably the most important denomination in the entirety of British currency up until March 2017, where it was replaced with the 12 sided pound we now know. The last round pound is perfect as either an investment piece or as a commemoration of this moment in the UK’s history.
The obverse of the coin displays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the face value of 1 pound. The reverse of the coin displays a brilliant design by Gregory Cameron depicts the “Royal Beasts” of the four nations of the United Kingdom. This includes the Welsh Dragon for Wales, the Unicorn for Scotland, the Lion for England and the Irish Elk for Ireland. Made of 22 carat gold, the last round pound is a beautiful display piece that will fit well in any home or collection.
The Royal Mint Background
The Royal Mint is a national treasure, making beautifully crafted coins and medals for countries all over the world. Over a thousand years of craftsmanship and artistry ensures every piece they strike is a long lasting piece of history.
The last round pound and any other coins produced by The Royal Mint are a staple of any UK bullion investors portfolio for a number of different reasons: As well as being competitively priced, Royal Mint coins with face value are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax free. By purchasing UK coins eligible for CGT exemption you can avoid paying tax over the profit you make, the amount of this CGT free profit won’t affect or decrease the limit of tax free profit on your other investments either.
The Royal Mint is listed as an active Good Delivery Refiner by the London Bullion Market Association.
