Gibraltar's Crown series has long served as a vehicle for licensed pop-culture issues, and this Presley piece falls into a run of celebrity gold fractionals produced for the collector market rather than any monetary purpose. Elvis-themed bullion and numismatic issues proliferated after the 1998 restructuring of Elvis Presley Enterprises' licensing agreements, which opened the door to foreign mint programs that the Memphis estate had previously kept tightly controlled.
At 3.11 g of .9999 fine gold, this is a tenth-ounce equivalent struck under the authority of a British Overseas Territory whose coinage rights derive from a 1964 Royal Charter.
