| Beschrijving voorzijde | Gothic-style effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the manner of William Wyon's celebrated Gothic portrait, with the Queen shown wearing a crown and elaborate robes. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, with the denomination '200 POUNDS' to the left of the effigy and the date '2021' to the right. The inscription reads 'ELIZABETH DEI GRATIA BRITANNIAR. REG: F: D', affirming her titles as Queen of the Britains and Defender of the Faith. The design consciously echoes the aesthetic of the Victorian Gothic Crown series, lending a regal and historicist character to the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney's Gothic Portrait series revisits the 1839 Una and the Lion coinage — specifically William Wyon's Gothic crown portrait of Victoria, which was engraved for a pattern coin that never entered circulation but became one of the most admired pieces of 19th-century British minting. The 2021 issue adapts that aesthetic lineage for Elizabeth II, commissioning a portrait in deliberate stylistic homage to Wyon's original treatment.
At two troy ounces of four-nines gold, these were produced in severely limited quantities as collector bullion. Alderney, a British Crown dependency with its own issuing authority but no independent central bank, has used that status since the 1990s to produce numismatic pieces that circulate nowhere but sell everywhere.
