A monument to the longest reign in British history

The obverse of this gold coin shows Queen Elizabeth II wearing a finely chiseled, jewel-encrusted crown. The inscription IN MEMORIAM QUEEN ELIZABETH II runs around the edge, flanked by the dates "21st April 1926" and "8th September 2022" – the birth and death of the monarch who sat on the throne for over seven decades. The reverse bears the world-famous portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, along with the inscriptions ELIZABETH II, COOK ISLANDS and 5 DOLLARS. A design that commemorates an entire era – a personal touch on a solid core of fine gold.

Proof – the art of minting at its finest

The Proof finish is regarded as the most demanding of all minting techniques. Hand-selected blanks, polished dies and multiple striking passes create that characteristic contrast between deep, mirror-like reflective surfaces and delicately matted design elements. The small gold piece is delivered in a protective coin capsule that preserves its sensitive mirror finish. At just 11 mm in diameter, the level of detail achieved in this Proof edition is all the more remarkable.

Small mintage, great rarity

With a worldwide mintage of just 25,000 pieces, this edition is strictly limited – a scarce asset likely to remain in demand for years to come. This combination of low mintage, top-quality minting and a historically significant occasion gives the coin its special appeal, one that also resonates with enthusiasts of sophisticated collector's coins. Incidentally, alongside this gold issue there is also a one-ounce silver version – however, the focus of this edition is clearly on the fine gold.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency – a store of value that has endured for over 6,000 years and has never once been worth zero.

Physical gold as a solid investment

Gold has an intrinsic, globally recognized value and can be traded and sold at any time. As a proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection, it safeguards against loss of purchasing power and currency risks. Small units like this one are particularly well suited to building up physical precious metal step by step – small amounts of gold add up over the years into considerable wealth. Gold coins like these also make excellent gifts: anyone giving genuine investment gold for a christening, birthday or wedding is not giving away a perishable item, but a lasting asset for the next generation.
