ROYAL ARMS OF ENGLAND 2018 Gibraltar 1 oz Silver Coin

ROYAL ARMS OF ENGLAND 2018 Gibraltar 1 oz Silver Coin: Launched in 2018, Scottsdale Mints ‘The Royal Arms of England’ takes a look at the heraldic history of the worlds most popular monarchy. More traditional in design than the Royal Mint series ‘Queen’s Beasts’, it’s a great looking coin, particularly this first one that resonates with the English, as the three-lions design is used by the national football team.

There’s already a selection of proof one-ounce gold and one-ounce silver versions, each of which is available with a selection of colour highlighting, but in 2018 Scottsdale issued the more populous, cleanly-struck bullion coins. Three formats are available – two in gold and one in silver. Weighing in at 6.22 grams (1/5th ounce), the small gold version is a nice touch and is supplied encapsulated. As well as this gold toddler, one-ounce coins in silver and gold are also up for grabs. The design on all three remains identical, with the obvious exception of the denomination and composition inscriptions.
