60th Anniversary of England's 1966 Victory Gold Proof Quarter Sovereign

Celebrating 60 years since an iconic win

For many, only one event comes to mind when thinking about 1966. That is, of course, England’s greatest sporting triumph that took place at Wembley Stadium on 30th July, 60 years ago. For the first and only time, Sir Bobby Moore and his legendary team secured their place as champions, a victory that went down in a nation’s sporting history.

Struck in 22-Carat Gold

To celebrate six decades since the win, a NEW Gold Proof coin has been officially approved by Buckingham Palace and struck in 22-Carat Gold to the most pristine Proof finish. This magnificent coin bears a patriotic reverse design by renowned heraldic artist Timothy Noad featuring a lion, an image now synonymous with English football, wearing a crown while supporting the shield of St George, the country’s patron saint.

‘ENGLAND VICTORIOUS’

Complimenting the strong and proud lion on the reverse design is the Latin inscription ‘ANGLIA VICTORES’ which translates to ‘ENGLAND VICTORIOUS’ and the years ‘1966’ and ‘2026’ representing this year’s 60th anniversary.
