The latest addition to Rosland’s coin collection created in collaboration with the British Museum is this gold Queen - one of the famous Lewis Chess Pieces, and one of the most characterful, with her troubled look and drinking horn.
On the obverse side of the coin is Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the year of minting - 2022.
These new coins are .9999 fine gold, 40mm diameter, 1.5 Troy oz., legal tender proofs, minted by Swiss-based PAMP SA, one of the world’s finest producers of precious metal coins.
The packaging shows the back of another of the chess pieces - the Bishop - and includes a Certificate Number, statement of metal fineness, weight, proof quality statement, and the signature of the accredited independent Swiss assayer at PAMP.
