Silver proof one ounce George I coin from The Royal Mint’s British Monarchs series. This new series celebrates the Kings and Queens of the British Isles and the fascinating coinage issued during their reign. Starting in 2022, each new release features a historic royal portrait, remastered for modern money by The Royal Mint’s design team. Their 3D modelling process preserves the imperfections of rare old coins and places them alongside a modern effigy of our current Queen, Elizabeth II. The third collection in the British Monarchs series stars the first of the Hanoverians, George I. He was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1714 until 1727. His coinage featured a right-facing portrait by German-born artist John Croker that shows George wearing a laurel wreath, tied at the back of his neck. The portrait and original lettering is reproduced on this one ounce 2022 silver coin. From a limited edition of 1,350, this modern George I coin is composed of 31.21 grams of 999 fine silver. It has a face value of £2 / Two Pounds and a diameter of 38.61 millimetres. You’ll receive your British Monarchs coin in its original Royal Mint presentation packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity and an information booklet enclosed.

What Is The British Monarchs Series?

British coinage provides a fascinating insight into the reigns of the nation's monarchs, documenting developments in politics, art and technology across the centuries. The Royal Mint are celebrating this rich legacy with a new series focusing on the royals whose faces have graced our currency.

Billed as a five-year series, the British Monarchs collection will feature 21 Kings and Queens, starting with Tudor dynasty. The series kicked off with a collection featuring King Henry VII in early 2022. Three further releases are slated for this year including coins starring James I, George I and Edward VII: all the first monarchs of their respective houses. The British Monarchs series is projected to run until 2026.

George I: The First Hanoverian King Of Britain

The third coin in the British Monarchs collection stars King George I who was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1714 until 1727. He inherited the throne from his second cousin, Queen Anne, becoming the first British monarch of the House of Hanover and kicking off what we call the 'Georgian period'.

The portrait of George I that appears on this British Monarchs coin is the work of the German-born engraver, John Croker. He came to England during the time of William and Mary and also designed the coinage of Queen Anne and George's successor, his son, George II.

Croker's portrait of the elder George has been remastered for the British Monarchs series by the Royal Mint's design team using 3D scans and modelling techniques to preserve some of the character of the original including the slight irregularities present in historic milled coinage.
