Is this the most famous coin in the world?
Did you know that the Gold Sovereign has an incredibly rich history stretching back over 530 years!
Known as the flagship coin of Great Britain, it’s easily one of the most famous coins in the world.
And in my latest video I tell you everything you need to know spanning from 1489 to the modern day.

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 The iconic St George and the Dragon has been replaced by a reverse design depicting the Royal Coat of Arms by Timothy Noad.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.
