The ‘Original Maker’, striking coins since 886, The Royal Mint are the world’s leading export mint for both currency and bullion. The Britannia coin, in both gold and silver, has become a much loved investment coin globally. Additionally, collector coins from the Royal Mint have sometimes increased in value by many times, and are seen as a solid investment choice.
Since its inception in 1489 at the behest of King Henry VII, the sovereign has endured throughout the ages as a symbol of monarchical strength. The British Royal Mint’s latest addition to its modern collector program marks Her Majesty The Queen 70th year on the throne. Made with an extra thick piedfort blank, the stunning piece is a resounding contribution to the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The coin portrays a new sovereign design. Created by esteemed heraldic artist Timothy Noad, the artistry reinterprets the Royal Coat of Arms, the arms used by The Queen in her official capacity as monarch of the United Kingdom.
The piedfort proof Sovereign: back for 2022 in a limited edition presentation of just 3,250 pieces. This isn’t the first piedfort Sovereign but they aren’t common. The Royal Mint has offered these double-weight coins individually in 2017, 2018 and 2019 but not in the last couple of years. They’re making a return in 2022 with both an individual release and a very scarce proof set. Like the rest of the coins in the 2022 Sovereign family these pieces bear a new reverse, authorised for Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year. Timothy Noad’s royal arms design is a tribute to an incredible seventy years on the throne. This is paired with Jody Clark’s portrait of our longest reigning monarch, introduced to British coinage in 2015. This piece is exactly twice the mass of a standard Sovereign, weighing in at 15.97 grams of 22 carat gold (actual gold weight: 14.64 grams. The diameter is the same (22.05 millimetres) but the thickness is almost double that ordinarily seen.
