BREAKING: The Sovereign which sold out in less than a day
The UK 2022 Gold Proof Sovereign was released at 9am yesterday. In less than a day, the whole range was sold out at the Royal mint.
That makes it the fastest selling sovereign. Ever.
And this isn’t by chance. Here’s how the 2022 Sovereign has already become the UK’s fastest selling ever.
Special one-year-only design
This year, The Royal Mint took the decision to issue a special one-year-only design to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year. Sovereign design changes don’t come around often, and this is the first time since 2002 that the iconic St George and the Dragon design was removed from the reverse.
Once in a lifetime Sovereign
The Sovereign was issued to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen will mark an impressive 70 years on the throne in February next year – something that we are unlikely to ever see again in our lifetime.
Edition limit
Importantly, the edition limit of the 2022 Sovereign was just 10,500 – this is the same as the 2017 Sovereign which also featured a one year only design change. The 2017 sovereign sold out in just a few days due to unprecedented collector demand, so there was already huge demand expected for this release.
We still have a limited number of the UK 2022 Sovereign available for customers. If you’d like to order the UK 2022 Gold Proof Sovereign, please enter your details below and a member of our team will contact you.

One-year-only Design Change Revealed
It’s the coin release that collectors wait all year for. The new UK 2022 Gold Sovereign has just been released.
And it’s safe to say the collecting world has not been disappointed.
For 2022, the Sovereign has been dedicated to the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The iconic St George and the Dragon has been replaced by a reverse design depicting the Royal Coat of Arms by Timothy Noad. It’s said to represent the Queen’s unwavering grace and dedication to her country.
There are just two other Sovereigns issued under Queen Elizabeth II that do not have a depiction of St George and the Dragon (issued in 1989 and 2002). And that makes the 2022 Sovereign an incredibly rare and unique piece.
Importantly for collectors, the edition limit of the 2022 Sovereign is just 10,500 – that matches that of the UK 2017 Bicentenary Sovereign (the last time we saw a design change) which sold out in record time.
Given the importance of next year for Her Majesty, and the fact that this design change is so rare, there’s expected to be a serious collector demand.

THE UK 2022 SOVEREIGN: A Once in a lifetime coin with a once in a lifetime design…
The annual UK Gold Sovereign is always highly anticipated by collectors, and we’ve just had word that in 2022, it’s going to feature a one year only design change! The last time we saw a design change was in 2017 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the iconic St George and the Dragon design.
The gold Sovereign is one of the most famous coins in the world. The flagship coin of Britain, it was minted throughout the Empire in the glory days, reaching as far as Australia, Canada, India, and even South Africa. It’s now become a staple for collectors throughout the world.
Design changes over the years
The first sovereign was struck in 1489 during the reign of Henry VII. A magnificent coin, on the obverse is the king sitting on a throne, hence the name “Sovereign.”
Since then it has seen few design changes to celebrate important moments, and each issue is now highly sought after by collectors. In 1989 the Sovereign saw a complete redesign to celebrate its 500th anniversary, and in 2002 we saw the reverse shift completely from the St George and the Dragon design to a Royal shield of arms to celebrate the Golden Jubilee.
BRAND NEW design for 2022
What’s important about the 2022 Sovereign is that the new design will feature an exclusive one year only reverse design – a year dated depiction of the Royal Coat of Arms. What’s more is that the design will be dedicated to the Queen as she celebrates her historic Platinum Jubilee next year!
It’s rare that the Sovereign design changes from Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon, which makes this an extremely important for British and numismatic history.
And with a Jubilee next year that we are unlikely to see again for centuries, this sovereign is set to be a once in a lifetime coin.
