The Gold Series: Higher Two-Coin Set includes two £25 coins, each containing a quarter-ounce of fine gold and both struck to superior Proof quality. The gods Juno and Apollo and the sports of Pole Vaulting and Gymnastics feature on the Higher gold coins. These designs have been created by the British sculptor John Bergdahl and, like all legal tender UK coins, the obverses feature the portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.
