The new 5 kilogram gold coin, designed in celebration of the Queen's 70 years on the throne, is one of a selection of coins minted as part of this year's collection.
Based on yesterday's gold price of £43,000 per kg, a collector wealthy enough to buy one of two minted would be paying a near 80 per cent mark-up in order to so.
The coins, including the first 50p to celebrate a Royal event, have a unique commemorative design featuring The Queen on horseback – that has been personally approved by Her Majesty.

The new commemorative design will also feature on the 'heads' side of the 50p and £5 crown and will be available in both base and precious metals.
Clare Maclennan, divisional director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint said: 'The Platinum Jubilee is an historic occasion and one that is particularly special for The Royal Mint, as the original maker of British Coins for 1,100 years.'
