A Tribute to Britain's Economic Legacy

Relive the transformative era when Britain first embraced the gold standard. In 1717, Sir Isaac Newton, the esteemed scientist and Master of The Royal Mint, recommended a fixed value for Britain's gold guinea coin, backed by its weight of gold. This marked the birth of Britain's gold standard, where coinage held fixed and standard values, linked to precious metal contents. The stability and beauty of this historic monetary system have become a cherished memory as we navigate the complexities of modern currency.

With the 2023 Gold 1 oz Royal Mint The Gold Standard BU coin, The Royal Mint celebrates the 1816 adoption of the gold standard with a series of gold bullion coins. Struck in random years from 2016 to the present, this 1 oz gold coin captures the essence of British heritage.

The reverse design, created by Royal Mint senior designer Dominique Evans, features a balance scale superimposed over an old-fashioned compass face. This innovative design was inspired by the quest for economic equilibrium, conveying a sense of balance and connection. For Dominique Evans, the design holds a deeply personal touch, as she shares:

"My grandfather was a bank manager who had a large set of scales from the bank, which I have inherited. They very much naturally became the integral part of the design and I am delighted that they have become part of a coin design of which my grandad would have been so very proud. Every time I get some good luck or have made a step towards achieving something, I say 'cheers' to him. He was one of the people who allowed me to believe I could pursue my dreams and, because of that, I am doing what I love, which is such a precious thing."

On the obverse, Jody Clark's iconic fifth portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II graces the coin. Surrounding the Queen's portrait, a highly-detailed guilloche pattern adds an extra layer of security against counterfeiting.
