Golden tribute

The reverse side of the Royal Mint’s first ever UK gold kilo coin, which has been created to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and features in fine detail the Royal Coat of Arms which graces the gates of Buckingham Palace.

The £1,000 denomination kilo coin, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, contains one kilo of fine gold and has a diameter of 100 millimetres.

Priced at £60,000, only 60 gold kilo coins have been struck.
