Why you have just days to secure the new 2018 Gold Proof Sovereign
The UK 2018 Gold Proof Sovereign
The new 2018 Proof Sovereign has been released today, but you may only have days to own one. Let me tell you why…
We’re in the golden age of the Proof Sovereign. In 2017, the UK Proof Sovereign, issued to mark 200 years of the Sovereign, sold out at The Royal Mint in just 4 weeks, and in July, this year, the entire mintage of Piedfort Sovereigns sold out on its FIRST DAY of issue.
First ever one-year-only mintmark

Next year Her Majesty the Queen will celebrate the 65th anniversary of her coronation, becoming the first British monarch ever to do so. So to mark the anniversary, the Proof Sovereign features a special one-year-only mintmark for the very first time.
One-year-only mintmarks are only applied to coins for the most significant events and anniversaries and this is certainly an important one. In fact, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see a Royal anniversary as significant as this in our lifetimes.
22 Carat Gold Pedigree
The 2018 Sovereign is minted from 22 Carat Gold and it is this historical pedigree that makes the coin so admired and sought-after around the world.
It is also one of the finest examples of British craftsmanship. The exceptional ‘proof’ finish is the result of the coin being struck up to 4 times using specially polished dies.
The time and effort required to produce the frosted relief and mirrored background of the coin is why a proof finish is considered the pinnacle of the mint-masters art – and the most sought-after by collectors.
And with an edition limit of just 10,500 worldwide – the same edition limit as last year’s sell-out Proof Sovereign – the 2018 Gold Proof Sovereign has all the elements to be the most collectable gold coin of the year.

I am trying to order2018+2021 gold soveriegns with no luck + the ones I saw yesterday only in a collection. Oneed help please. Many thanks.
Hi Margaret, both the UK 2018 and UK 2021 Gold Proof Sovereign are sold out at The Royal Mint, so it’s really difficult to source enough of these to offer to collectors – they’re very popular coins! Sometimes the best way to secure them is in a limited edition set. I’m afraid we do not have any 2021 Sovereigns available currently, however we do have a limited number of 2018 Sovereigns available – you can enquire through our website and one of our friendly advisors will contact you directly to secure your coin.

Hope that helps! 🙂
