Could the King Charles III Sovereign be the most sought-after ever?

Read our latest blog on the first King Charles III sovereign – a coin that we predict could be one of the most collectable sovereigns ever.


Known as possibly the most famous coin in history, the Gold Sovereign is the collector’s dream. As Britain’s flagship coin, it’s steeped with incredible history – so if there was any piece to add to your collection, this should certainly be it!

Every year, the classic sovereign and the proof collectable versions are always very high in demand. But this year’s sovereign is like no other seen before…

Just released by The Royal Mint, we’d like to introduce you to the brand-new Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign – the first sovereign to feature the portrait of King Charles III.

The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign – A Unique Collectible

It’s incredibly rare to come across a Memorial Sovereign as it is – but to coincide with that, the reverse has got a rare change in design too!

Unique to the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign, the traditional St George and the Dragon design has made way for a new interpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms. This is an updated version of what appeared on the Platinum Jubilee issue last year, so it’s a very fitting tribute to our late Queen.

But that’s not all – what makes this coin even more spectacular is that it’s the first ever sovereign to feature King Charles III’s portrait. This will make it incredibly popular with collectors!

First King Charles III Sovereign

Every so often, a newly released sovereign will exceed the normal levels of collectability. In the past, this has included Queen Victoria’s first sovereign from 1837, George IV’s only sovereign from 1937, and of course, Queen Elizabeth II’s first sovereign from 1957.

And it won’t be long until this sovereign reaches the same level of demand and collectability!

Even if it wasn’t for the unique design, this sovereign would still rank as one of the most important ­– being the very first sovereign to feature the new King, it will be the collectible to have in the future.

It’s the sovereign that links Queen Elizabeth II’s and King Charles III’s reigns together – making any sovereign collection incomplete without it.

Available in Gold Proof and Piedfort Quality, make sure you get yours today before it’s too late!

An extremely rare specification of Sovereign

This is only the third Piedfort Sovereign to be struck by The Royal Mint.

When the first Piedfort Sovereign was released in 2017 to mark the bicentenary of the modern sovereign, it too sold out in just 24 hours.

This new release has an edition limit of 500 less, so another fast sell-out looks guaranteed.

The pinnacle of Royal Mint craftsmanship

Piedfort coins are some of the finest examples of British craftsmanship and the Gold Proof Piedfort Sovereign is no exception. Each has been struck from 22-carat Gold, however, the Piedfort Sovereign has been struck using a double-thickness blank, meaning it contains twice the weight of Gold.

You can really see the difference in thickness of the Piedfort when compared to the standard issue.

Considered extremely prestige pieces, Piedfort coins continue to be limited issues, and the striking of such coins is strictly reserved for the most important events. Therefore, it seems fitting for one to be issued in our Queen’s milestone Platinum Jubilee year.

Act quickly or risk missing out

With the UK 2022 Proof Sovereign and the very first UK Piedfort Sovereign both selling out within 24 hours, this latest release is practically guaranteed to follow suit. High demand is guaranteed.

Thousands of collectors will miss out. Make sure you’re not one of them.
