Gold is not an investment tool. It is a hedge for preserving wealth. The buying power of gold has been constant for the past 4 centuries or so. It is the fiat currencies that have been losing their value/buying power hence the increase in price of a troz of gold (in relation to fiat currencies).

From RM description, they are probably reusing the 1818 Crown SG&D design with garter motto.
I much prefer the 1820 5 Sovereign pattern with no garter motto that the RM re-adopted from the 2009 5 Sovereign proof and BU issues.

AFAIK, the early submission were in batches or group of coins and were only authenticated (hence 1 of xxx). Later submissions were graded and no longer had the 1 of xx number batch).
The more popular of these WTC recovery coins would be the American Eagles (Au, Pt & Ag) with 2001 year and MS69 grade.

Maybe it was the company that owned or operated the bullion vault in the twin towers basement.

They were recovered from a bullion vault in the basement on the twin towers. Bullion gold, platinum & silver coins with varying years (up to 2001) from different countries.
i have 2 I acquired in 2003 for my kids.

Articles about the coins make it sound like they was all submitted by the same people/ company, so it is a little strange how theres been no public record of how many coins they slabbed. 

You’re probably right. Specially with bulk substitutions, dealers can save money by skipping the grade and just having the coins authenticated.

Nice coin.
Im looking to purchase one as a gift for someone one. The thing i cant get my head round is how they haven't been documented very well. 
Do you know how the ones with grades managed to get a grade and not just get a recovery coin slab? 
The coins with 1 of 1000 or different number are confusing me to what that refers to.

Not so much Christmas but I do have a set of Gillicks for each of my daughters if/when they get married. Will likely save a Sov per year for grandchildren if any should make an appearance in the future

I love the idea of birth year sovereigns and something I’ll look to complete this year! Just need to find a 1998, 2001, 2004 & 2006 🤣

I’ve gifted gold bullion coins to nieces’ and nephew’s wedding varying from 1/4 to 1/2 troz China Panda (depending on Au spot at the time). 
For my daughter’s wedding, I gave her a silver six pence dated 1885 (she was born 1985) for her shoe at the wedding. And gave her and my son-in-law a 1 troz Au China Panda.
For my grandkids:
I gave the oldest a proof Sovereign with his birth year and 1 troz Au Canada Five Blessings coin.
and his younger twin siblings (girl and boy) 1/4 troz bimetallic Au/Pt Angel & Noble from IoM (Pobjoy Mint) and 1 troz Pt US PF Eagle & 1 troz Au Australia Year of the Monkey.
