Royal Mint 2008 Gold Proof £1 Shield   Although still one coin short of the full set of different 75 silver round pounds, I thought this fellow might make an attractive headliner for my planned display.    This particular design is the most prolific, featuring on the reverse of eleven Ag £1 coins from 2008-2016 (twice in 2012 and 2015).   Weighing in at 19.61g of 22ct gold (17.98g agw), it is over twice as heavy as its Sterling silver counterpart.   Total mintage 1746, including those issued in sets.   A splendid deal courtesy of @MancunianStacker  

The new 24-carat one troy ounce of gold coin has been produced with 'micro-detail' so the waves in the background appear to roll as you look at them from different angles.
The illusion of moving waves is a security measure introduced to make it difficult for forgers to copy. There are others, including a disk by the bottom of the regal figure's dress that also acts like a hologram so you can see either a padlock or trident on it, again depending on what angle you look at it from.

Recently come back from India and emptied a safety deposit box in India while I was there (no longer required). Managed to bring back into UK fair amount of gold without being questioned by customs. Visited Saint James in Manchester today to deposit some items and took opportunity photograph the family entire gold stack:
A lot gold held in the form of Indian jewellery
I have no idea how many oz gold is in jewellery form and 18 to 22 carat gold with some items having real diamonds. Best part of the gold stack Queens Beast bullion coins.

Six months stacking fortunate picked up most of the stack when spot prices much lower. Most of the jewellery purchased by my late dad when gold spot prices $250 oz.
