(1) Dear Mr. MIchael Alexander

Could you be so kind to direct men to the place one can purchase the...: One-ounce gold Proof is just 62 pieces, representing the number of gun salutes that take place at the Tower of London to commemorate the Queen’s birthday every year...?”

Pobjoy doesn't seem to have it in stock...

Hello Think,

I'll contact the Pobjoy Mint in the UK and see if they may have provided a consignment of the gold coins to an additional distributor - there were a very small number minted so this might be a tough coin to obtain. I'll post any information I receive from them here.

Hello El Think,

The Marketing department of Pobjoy have advised that if you would like to reserve one coin, it would be possible as production for a consignment of the gold version is set to commence shortly.

A mail order client in the UK or Europe would need to contact our Mail Order department which is 01737 818182. If they are USA or Canada, they would need to contact the US Office which is 877-476-2569.

Hoping this helps - let us know on our main page of coin articles if you manage to obtain one of these gold coins - the mintage is very small indeed.

Best regards,
M Alexander
