Issued in 2021, this three-coin gold proof Sovereign set celebrates Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th birthday with a special one-year-only privy mark. It brings together the Sovereign, Half-Sovereign and Quarter-Sovereign, each struck in 22 carat gold and finished to Proof standard, creating a beautifully balanced set with the quality and detail collectors expect from The Royal Mint.
The Sovereign has been a coin of the monarch for more than 500 years, first created for Henry VII and later revived to become one of the most respected gold coins in the world. For 2021, this famous design carries an exclusive ‘95’ privy mark, while the Sovereign itself also features a milled edge with a symbolic 95 mills in honour of the Queen’s birthday. These small but meaningful details give the set a strong collector appeal and make it especially interesting for those who follow the changing story of the Sovereign.
Each coin features Jody Clark’s fifth and final definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, paired with Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic St George and the dragon on the reverse. That combination of modern portrait and timeless reverse has come to define the final years of the Sovereign series under Her Majesty’s reign. Presented in an elegant case, this set offers a refined way to own three special editions from a historic year in British coinage.
