The Mary Gillick First and Last Sovereign Set
Mary Gillick was the first to design Elizabeth II's official portrait for British coinage. Rather than wearing a crown, the effigy depicted Her Majesty wearing a laurel wreath.
Today, coins featuring Gillick's effigy - symbolising the first of Elizabeth II's reign - are some of the most-sought after in the world. Especially Gold Sovereigns.
This Mary Gillick Sovereign pair, housed in official Royal Mint packaging, brings together the 1957 (Gillick's first) and 1968 (Gillick's final) Gold Sovereigns.
The Westminster Collection have been given exclusivity to these sets, meaning they're no longer available at The Mint.
Here's why you need it for your collection:
- The 1957 Sovereign was the first mass-produced Sovereign during Queen Elizabeth II’s record-breaking reign.
- Both coins are original 22 carat gold Sovereigns.
- Mary Gillick is the only woman to have designed a royal portrait for gold Sovereigns.
- Supplied in official Royal Mint packaging including presentation case with certificate of authenticity
