In 2019, to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Queen Victoria, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Queen Victoria £1000 One Thousand Pound Gold Proof Coin struck in solid fine . 9999 Gold weighing one Kilo of pure Gold.
The reverse designed by William Wyon features Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the prime of health and ambition. The design was originally commissioned for a medal issued for the Great Exhibition of 1851 while the obverse design depicts the Fifth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
