Celebrate tradition with the 2010 Queen Elizabeth II Three-Coin Gold Sovereign Set, a distinguished collection that unites three of Britain’s most enduring gold coins: the Sovereign, Half Sovereign and Quarter Sovereign. Struck in 22 carat gold by The Royal Mint and finished to the highest proof standard, these coins embody the artistry, heritage, and prestige that has long defined the sovereign series.
The obverse features the mature portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS, one of the most recognisable effigies in modern British coinage. Introduced in 1998, this portrait reflects dignity and continuity as Her Majesty approached six decades on the throne. The reverse of each coin is graced by Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic depiction of Saint George in triumphant battle with the dragon, a masterpiece of neoclassical design that has symbolised strength, faith, and courage on sovereigns since 1817.
