With its origins stretching back to 1489 and King Henry VII, the sovereign can lay claim to not only be the most famous gold coin in the world, the singular longest heritage! After a period of change, the Sovereign appeared in a new format, in 1817, and has since been minted for every monarch from Queen Victoria onwards!
In 2024, the coin returns again, bearing the beautiful St George & Dragon design used on the 1817 coin and ever since. On the obverse, for the first time in the sovereign series, the recently approved King Charles III uncrowned effigy.
Struck from 22 carat gold - as is tradition - each 2024 Proof Sovereign is housed in a prestigious timber case, befitting the years of history behind this important annual issue.
A coin that will elevate any coin collection, the 2024 Proof Gold Sovereign is available now for Pre-Order with shipping expected to commence at the end of November 2023.
