| Reverse description | A sweeping panoramic cityscape of Rome rendered in fine engraved detail, depicting the iconic silhouette of St. Peter's Basilica with its celebrated dome dominating the composition, alongside the circular mass of the Castel Sant'Angelo set on the banks of the Tiber. The architectural rendering captures the grandeur of Rome's historic skyline in a highly detailed relief, conveying depth and perspective across the broad field. The inscription ROME appears in raised letters above the cityscape, serving as the sole legend on this reverse. The design was executed by The Royal Mint Team as part of the Great Pagodas series celebrating famous world landmarks. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's broader push into high-fineness bullion and proof coinage following Brexit, when the Mint aggressively expanded its collectible programs to offset reduced European distribution contracts. The "Rome" designation places this within the Myths and Legends of Rome series, drawing on a cultural marketing framework the Mint launched to compete directly with the Perth Mint's long-dominant themed proof output.
Four-nines gold at this weight puts it squarely in the one-troy-ounce category — a format that commands significant premium over spot on the secondary market largely because of the proof finish rather than the metal content alone.
