The death of a reigning monarch is a significant event that can have a major impact on the value of collectible coins featuring that monarch's effigy. This is particularly true for coins featuring the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, who served from 1952 – 2022, thus making her the longest-reigning monarch.
When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away, a notable trend began to occur: the value of collectible coins featuring her effigy began to increase. There are several reasons for this that you should keep in mind for your collection:
- The death of a monarch marks the end of an era, and these coins will become historical relics that commemorate the end of the Queen's reign. This historical significance will make these coins more valuable to collectors and investors.
- The death of a monarch also marks the start of a new reign, and the coins featuring the new monarch's effigy will become more valuable. As a result, the value of coins featuring the effigy of the previous monarch will increase in value as they become more scarce.
- Third, The East India Company, which is well-established and respected mint, has a long history of producing high-quality collectible coins. Our reputation for producing coins that are both beautiful and valuable is a major draw for collectors.
- Fourth, The East India Company was granted a royal charter by Queen Elizabeth in 1600, which originally gave us the exclusive right to mint coins with the Queen's effigy on them. This exclusivity makes the coins minted by the company more valuable to collectors even in today’s world.
It is easy to see why the value of collectible coins featuring the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is likely to carry on increasing following her death. As an historical relic, a scarce item, and a product from a respected and exclusive mint, these coins will become highly sought-after by collectors and investors alike. Therefore, The East India Company's coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II's effigy on them, will be among the most valuable and sought after collectibles in the market.
