Comment
First designed in 2016 to mark 200 years since the de facto introduction of the gold standard – tying the value of the British pound to that of gold – the Gold Standard.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is made of 99.99% pure gold, which is a higher purity level than many other gold coins. This makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item for those interested in gold coins and numismatics.
