Five Special Edition Sovereigns Marking 65 Years
The Sovereign has a reputation that is built on 500 years of history and unrivalled accuracy that is guaranteed by The Royal Mint, the home of The Sovereign. This isn’t the only royal connection, even the name of the 22 carat gold coin reminds us of its link with the monarchy, and The Sovereign has featured the portrait of every British monarch of the last 200 years. In 2018 Her Majesty The Queen marks the 65th anniversary of her coronation and to celebrate the historic occasion, a regal mint mark will feature on the reverse of The Sovereign for one year only. The striking of mint marks is a minting tradition that often indicates prestige.
This premium set is the most comprehensive in the collection for 2018, containing five editions of The Sovereign, including The Five-Sovereign Piece, The Double-Sovereign, The Sovereign, The Half-Sovereign and The Quarter-Sovereign. All five coins feature the celebratory ‘65’ mint mark on the reverse and are struck in 22 carat gold and finished to Proof standard.
