Solomon Global is encouraging romantics to break away from traditional Valentine’s Day gifts and consider gold and silver – precious metals that have symbolised love, commitment, and wealth for centuries.

As a specialist supplier of LBMA-approved gold and silver bars and coins, Solomon Global (https://solomon-global.com/) presents a curated collection of historically inspired gifts that make meaningful and lasting tokens of affection. From coins reflecting the legacy of ancient Rome to Tudor-inspired designs and modern commemorative pieces, these options start at £35 and offer a unique alternative to flowers and chocolates.

A Love Story Through the Ages

• Roman Era: Gold coins were often exchanged as romantic tokens, embodying devotion and status. Gift Idea: The Gold Britannia – the personification of Britain, which dates back to Roman times

• Tudor Period: King Henry VIII famously gifted gold to Jane Seymour. Gift Idea: The Tudor Beasts Seymour Unicorn Coin, which features in The Royal Mint’s Tudor Beasts series and pays tribute to this historic love story.

• 17th Century: ‘Love tokens’ were created from silver coins and engraved with messages of affection. Gift Idea: The Morgan Le Fay Myths and Legends Silver Coin – a nod to an enduring romance.

• Victorian Era: Gold sovereigns were prized gifts of love and prosperity. The period saw an increased interest in specially minted coins reflecting the era's focus on commemoration and sentimentality. Gift Idea: The Sovereign Victoria Young Head (Shield Back) Gold Coin – an iconic collectible.

• Modern Day: Gold and silver continue to be recognised for their intrinsic value. With a growing interest in collectibles, commemorative coins have gained prominence for their aesthetics and investment potential. Gift Idea: The King Charles Coronation Silver Britannia. This limited-edition piece, available for under £40, is the only coin to feature King Charles III wearing his crown.

Historically, gold has been a reliable store of wealth, increasing significantly in price over the decades[i] - rising almost 1500% since January 30^th, 1975[1]. In uncertain economic times, precious metals continue to be a safe-haven asset, making them a thoughtful and strategic gift whether purchased as a keepsake, a collectible, or an investment.

“Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to gift something meaningful, enduring and that has intrinsic value and growth potential,” said a Solomon Global spokesperson. “While chocolates and flowers are common tokens, they are short-lived. Instead, why not re-ignite a time-honoured gesture of love: gold and silver? Steeped in tradition and historical significance, bullion coins also make for a versatile modern-day option. For the romantic pragmatist, all legal tender bullion coins are CGT-free, making them an even more attractive choice.”
