2022 Gold Proof Four Coin Sovereign Set - QE II Memorial

Limited Edition 750

This 2022 gold proof four coin Sovereign set features a new royal portrait and a special memorial reverse. 

You’ll receive a 2022 memorial Double Sovereign, a ‘full’ Sovereign, a Half Sovereign and a Quarter Sovereign, presented in their original presentation packaging from The Royal Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed. 

The coins in this set are among the first in the UK to feature Martin Jenning’s portrait of King Charles III. Charles ascended to the throne in September 2022, following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Jennings’ design shows the new King facing left, the opposite direction to Elizabeth. As well as the new royal effigy, these coins are offered with a one-off reverse, commissioned specially by The Royal Mint as a tribute to the late Queen. This design - replacing the traditional image of St George and the dragon - is the work of Jody Clark, best as the designer of Her Majesty’s fifth and final coinage portrait. His creation shows the royal arms, supported by the lion of England and the unicorn of Scotland. It’s rich in detail: every spare millimetre of Clark’s intricate design is filled with flourishes and national flower emblems. While this memorial reverse is similar in theme to the Timothy Noad’s Platinum Jubilee motif it’s stylistically distinct, embodying the continuity and change brought by this new reign. Though they feature brand new designs to obverse and reverse, the technical specifications of these four British coins conform to historic standards.
