2022 Alderney QE II Platinum Jubilee, Four Graces 1-SOV 22K GOLD, NGC-PF70, UCAM

Description: Four Graces Sovereign This is a stunning 2022 Four Graces Sovereign struck in Proof quality by the prestigious Commonwealth Mint, the largest privately owned mint in the United Kingdom. Why seriously consider the acquisition of this Elegant Four Graces Sovereign of particular relevance and numismatic salience? To find out, join me on the following brief, albeit extraordinary journey into the life of a Queen, combined with the inspiration that she bestowed upon one of the most gifted and creative innovators of numismatic treasures, Jody Clark. Before we can consider the ontogeny of the Four Graces and their relevance to the longest-serving Head of State in World history, Her Majesty Queen ELIZABETH II, we must first explore the origins of the antecedent and most famous design creation of one of the world's greatest designers of currency and numismatic treasures, William Wyon. The inspiration for the Three Graces theme originated with Greek mythology and represented the three daughters of Zeus, the quintessential GOD ruling over all others from Mount Olympus. Given their endowment of special powers, the daughters were deemed capable of bestowing particular attributes upon morals. These included 'mirth' from Euphrosyne, 'elegance' from Aglaia, and 'beauty' from Thalia. In 1817 the young William Wyon, was working in the shadow of the legendary coin designer Benedetto Pistrucci, and would in that year achieve one of the greatest acts of artistic design genius that the numismatic world would ever know. Despite such proximity to established artistic greatness, Wyon coupled his deep-seated affinity for Greek mythology with his resonance for Rome's Antonio Canova's sculptural rendition of the Three Graces. These provocative influences led Wyon to imagine a contemporary innovation of a neoclassical design for The Three Graces, a project which he personally financed. Wyon ultimately forged his preoccupation with the classical mythological world with that of the contemporary 'Act of Union of 1801', which brought national equality between Great Britain and Ireland, and eventually with the addition of Scotland, the Three Graces came to signify the convergingconfluence of these three great nations into one; the United Kingdom; UK. Notwithstanding that a mere 50 pattern coins (i.e., sample specimens) were produced and never became coinage for general circulation, Wyon's creation illuminated his considerable gifts and attributes as an artistic innovator. Further, extraordinary talent was recognized and The Three Graces design would henceforth become pervasively acknowledged as among the most iconic numismatic designs ever created over the 1100 year history of the Royal Mint of Great Britain, and anywhere for that matter. Eventually, Wales would be added, thereby inspiring yet another rendition of the daughters of Zeus; this time designed by Royal Mint designer Jody Clark, on behalf of the Commonwealth Mint; The Four Graces. This most recent nuance of 'The Daughters' first appeared in 2022, and was cleverly translated into the cardinal attributes that characterize the most impressive leader, whose steadfast noble qualities, and longevity (the first ever to have achieved a Platinum Jubilee) has made her the most quintessentially emblematic leader of people the world has ever seen; Queen Elizabeth II. As a mark of the impressive Platinum Jubilee, the precocious quintessentially innovative master engraver, Jody Clark, applied his creative genius bringing a version of artistic elegance aimed at elucidating the female form like never before coupled to those attributes that personify greatness in a leader, and serves to inspire an entire generation of humanity to seek out 'ONE' among us, who is uniquely endowed with an unprecedented constellation of gifts and attributes, and is thereby worthy of trust, respect, confidence, LOVE and ultimately is likewise worthy of emulation. In his raison d'État, Jody Clark, has created a Renaissance of fundamental beauty that culminates in coupling the female form with the attributes most germane to catalyzing and perpetuating the greatness that was Queen ELIZABETH II. Chief among a virtual constellation of the Queen's considerable gifts, and those that Clark brings into full view upon The Four Graces, each equipped with those accoutrements which reflect distinctive attributes, which collectively bring forth the iconic leader, like no other in the history of civilization. For the symbolic empowerment of each of the Graces we are provided with discrete as well as related, and likely interdependent behavioral properties, which reflect humanity at its best. These are: 1. Devotion gazing upon the Sword of 'Offering'... 2. Strength grasps securely the Sovereign's orb... together, Devotion and Strength signify power and the enormity of the corresponding challenge of using such responsibly. 3. Wisdom seeks out the Owl for guidance from which humanity navigates towards an intended destination; Wisdom. 4. Leadership, made authentically manifest through the acquisition of Wisdom, holds the bow and arrow while being poised and ready for decisive action should such be necessary. Foedus Inviolabile; the unbreakable 'league' of the four attributes characterized above, collectively represent the frame from which Her Majesty Queen ELIZABETH II was able to reign 'Magnificent'!!! Having first appeared in 2022, and marked subsequently by the passing of the Queen, has rendered this utterly spectacular numismatic wonder to remain unknown and enigmatic to most throughout the world. We now present the most consummate and novel creation to date, by Jody Clark, the youngest innovator of numismatic prominence in the history of coinageand those elements that have inspired the transformation from circulating coinage to a literal numismatic Renaissance yielding coveted and unprecedented works of art. The Sovereign Proof coin is one among a mere maximum mintage of 999. We hope that you shall consider adding this rare, and not as yet known specimen by the vast majority of the numismatic world. A case in point? When we inquired about the Four Grace coins with a numismatic colleague who owns a highly respected coin company in London, he admonished me for mistakenly asking about the Four Graces when he was quite certain in his counsel; "Elliot, you mean The Three Graces, for there are no Four Graces coins." He soon thereafter discovered his complete lack of awareness of the existence of this triumph of numismatic creativity. Given such, the timely purchase of this Sovereign, provides for the opportunity to be at the leading edge of awareness of The Four Graces, and what they so uniquely represent.
