Clipper ships first set sail in the 1830s, revolutionizing maritime travel with their sleek design. These ships were built for speed, featuring narrow hulls, towering masts, and sharp bows that helped them cut through the waves. By the 1850s, they played a major role in global trade, particularly in the California Gold Rush and the tea trade with China.

On the reverse of Monarch Clipper Ship Gold Rounds, a detailed clipper ship is depicted in full sail. These fast vessels, reaching speeds of up to 20 knots, were essential for transporting valuable and time-sensitive cargo, including tea, opium, and gold prospectors eager for new opportunities.

Although clipper ships were known for their speed and elegance, their prominence was short-lived, lasting only about three decades before steam-powered ships became the new standard for commercial transport. Some of the most well-known clippers, such as the Flying Cloud and Cutty Sark, set speed records that made them legendary. The Flying Cloud notably completed the journey from New York to San Francisco in just 89 days and 8 hours—an incredible achievement for its time.

These 1 Gram Monarch Clipper Ship Gold Rounds come securely packaged in protective plastic capsules. Monarch crafts these gold rounds from hand-rolled gold sheets, cutting each blank by hand and stamping the design elements individually.
