| Aanvullende informatie |
The 2008 quarter-sovereign gold bullion program marked the Royal Mint's broader push to compete directly with the South African Krugerrand and the Canadian Maple Leaf in the international bullion market. Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced in 1998, was already a decade old by this striking — a relatively long tenure for a circulating effigy, reflecting the Mint's reluctance to commission a fifth portrait until 2015.
Struck in 22-carat crown gold, the alloy specification traces back centuries to English coinage tradition, deliberately chosen over .9999 fine to maintain hardness for circulation-quality durability.
