Issued in 2021, this five-coin gold proof set brings together every denomination in The Sovereign family in one remarkable collection. From the Quarter-Sovereign through to the Five-Sovereign Piece, each coin is struck in 22 carat gold and finished to Proof standard, creating a set that combines the full range of this famous series with the quality and polish collectors expect from The Royal Mint.
This set was created to mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th birthday, and each coin carries a special crowned ‘95’ privy mark. The Sovereign itself also features a milled edge with 95 mills, a thoughtful detail that gives the coin additional collector interest. These small touches make the 2021 set stand apart, while still keeping the classic look and feel of the Sovereign family that collectors know so well.
On the obverse, each coin features Jody Clark’s fifth and final definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a graceful and familiar image from the later years of her reign. On the reverse, Benedetto Pistrucci’s St George and the dragon appears across the series, bringing drama, movement and a strong sense of tradition to every denomination. The Five-Sovereign Piece is especially notable, as it is only available in Proof quality within this set, making the collection complete in a way that few other releases can match.
Presented in an official case with a certificate of authenticity, this limited edition set of just 450 offers collectors a rare chance to own all five Sovereign denominations together. It is a fitting celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's 95th birthday and a fine tribute to more than five centuries of Sovereign history.
