Comment

Not sure if the coin was issued in 2007 or 2008 (related silver 5 Pounds coins were issued in 2007 but two other gold 1 Pounds from the series were issued in 2008 with obverse by IRB).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Sir Edward Elgar on the other. Elgar was a renowned English composer, and the coin was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of his birth. The coin's design was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his work on various coins and medals. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
