The Return of Britain’s Rarest Coin — Forged in Gold and History

She was the pride of the Royal Navy. The flagship of Admiral Nelson. HMS Victory changed the course of history at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Now, 220 years later, Victory is yours to own — as a gold coin.

In proud partnership with the National Museum of the Royal Navy, and for the first time in history, authentic copper from the hull of Nelson’s flagship has been used to create an extraordinary gold Quarter Guinea.

Introducing the Victory Quarter Guinea — Struck in 22-Carat Gold

Once Britain’s most prestigious coin, the Guinea was a symbol of status, trust, and enduring value — long recognised as a mark of honour.
During the golden age of Trafalgar, officers, soldiers, and sailors would have been paid in Guineas. The Quarter Guinea hasn’t been struck in over 250 years — until now.

220 years after Admiral Nelson’s decisive victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, the proud tradition of the Guinea returns.

From the Heart of HMS Victory... to the Palm of Your Hand

The Victory Quarter Guinea is a world-first: struck in 22-carat gold and alloyed with authentic copper recovered from HMS Victory herself.
Matching the purity and specifications of the original Quarter Guinea, this coin features a distinctive rose-gold hue — created by alloying ‘Victory copper’ with gold.
This unique combination imparts a rich, timeless colour, making this Quarter Guinea the first of its kind.

Designed by the Artist Behind King Charles III’s Coin Portrait

This modern masterpiece features the official effigy of King Charles III by renowned sculptor Jody Clark.
Fully approved by Buckingham Palace, the reverse shows HMS Victory under full sail — a powerful tribute to Britain’s greatest naval triumph.

Officially Endorsed, Historically Grounded

Fully authenticated and backed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy — guardians of HMS Victory — this extraordinary release carries the weight of history and the seal of official approval.

Struck to the Highest Proof Quality

Every coin is struck to the highest Proof standard, using a meticulous double-strike process that creates a flawless, mirror-like finish.
The detailing is extraordinary — from the rigging on the sails to the royal portrait — a piece of minting excellence that’s destined to be treasured.

Extremely Limited – Only 1,765 Coins

The mintage is strictly limited, due to the scarcity of HMS Victory copper.
Only 1,765 coins will ever be struck — a number chosen to mark the year HMS Victory was first laid down at Chatham Dockyard in 1765.
