2022 Gold Proof Sovereign 4-coin Set

(video coming soon!)

This 4-coin sovereign set contains a double sovereign, (full) sovereign, half sovereign and a quarter sovereign. Each coin is struck from 0.9167 fine gold (22 carat). The set contains a total of .8828 troy ounces of the precious metal.

Proof sovereigns are produced to a much higher standard than the bullion coins. The blanks are struck up to 6 times each in order to give them the very best finish. These gold proof sovereigns are issued in protective capsules and presented in a wooden presentation box, along with a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Mint.

We have been stocking the new proof sovereign range every year since 2000. The information provided here is based on Privy Council notices, combined with over 20 years of experience. Once we receive embargoed information, we are constrained by what we can and cannot publish.

The Royal Arms

The British Royal Coat of Arms is unique to each monarch. It consists of a crest, motto and shield, with two 'supporters' on each side. Queen Elizabeth II's coat of arms features the quartered shield of the United Kingdom, surmounted by a royal crown. The motto reads "Dieu et mon droit", meaning "God on my right".

The shield dates back to the 1707 Act of Union and symbolises the alliance of the four Great British nations. The shield displays the three passant lions for England, the rampant lion for Scotland, the three lions for Wales and the golden harp for Northern Ireland. The supporters of the shield are a golden lion and a silver unicorn.
