The Royal Mint has launched its 2019 Sovereign Collection, which features individual editions and exclusive sets, all available in limited numbers.
While the Sovereign’s full story is more than 500 years old, it was subject to a lengthy pause after production ceased early in the 17th Century, during the reign of James I. But then, over 200 years ago, as part of a great reform of UK coinage undertaken after the Napoleonic Wars the Sovereign was born again.
During the 19th century the Sovereign was known as ‘the chief coin of the world’, while its role has changed over the years that followed, it maintains a global reputation for accuracy, reliability and quality.
Once again the 2019 Sovereign features Pistrucci’s St George design – a timeless design.
The Sovereign 2019 Proof Collection includes individual editions and exclusive sets, all available in limited numbers.
The Royal Mint is also offering Sovereign customers the opportunity to certify their Sovereign. By certifying their Sovereign, customers will have access to 'content, experiences and exclusive competitions'. To certify your Sovereign visit the website: www.royalmint.com/registerproduct.
