The 2021 Alderney Gothic Crown Gold Proof Double Sovereign is a stunning modern tribute to one of the most famous designs in British numismatics. Inspired by the original Gothic Crown created by William Wyon in 1847, this exquisite coin features intricate detail and exceptional craftsmanship.

Apart from UK sovereigns, the British Crown dependency of Alderney also issues double sovereigns under its own jurisdiction, denominated in Alderney Pounds. Unlike UK sovereigns, which traditionally do not display their face value, Alderney sovereigns clearly state their denomination.

The 2021 Alderney Gothic Crown Double Sovereign is particularly special, featuring a unique Gothic-style portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. This is the first and only time Her Majesty has been depicted in this style, with the effigy exclusively approved by the Palace for this release.

Struck in 22-carat gold and weighing 15.98g, this rare double sovereign was issued with a highly limited mintage of just 199 coins worldwide, making it a prized addition to any collection.

Key Features:

  • Rare Limited Edition: Only 199 minted, enhancing its desirability.
  • 22-Carat Gold: Struck to the highest proof standard.
  • Historic Gothic Crown Design: A modern tribute to William Wyon’s masterpiece.
  • Official Alderney Issue: Legal tender with a face value of £2.
  • Supplied and sealed within a PNC with Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

A must-have for proof coin collectors and investors, the 2021 Alderney Gothic Crown Gold Proof Double Sovereign offers both historical significance and strong potential for future value.

Delivery Information

We offer free insured delivery across the UK on all orders. Every coin is carefully inspected, securely packaged, and sent using Royal Mail Special Delivery - a fully tracked, next-day service that requires a signature on receipt.

All parcels are shipped discreetly and fully insured for peace of mind.

Because bullion prices are directly linked to the live precious metals markets, bullion sales are final. This is standard across the industry and protects both buyer and seller from fluctuations.

For non-bullion items (such as proof coins, graded coins or accessories), we’re happy to accept returns within 14 days of receipt if you feel your coin is not as described and provided the item is returned in its original condition, please contact us and we’ll be glad to help.

If an item is returned for reasons other than being not as described, return postage will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver

At Sovara Coins, we offer both new and preowned gold and silver products to suit various investment strategies. Purchasing preowned bullion can be a cost-effective option, as it often comes with a lower premium over the spot price, allowing you to maximize your investment.

While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
