2025 Silver Sovereign PR DCAM Shield Privy Values
Details
For 536 years, the name Sovereign has been synonymous with Gold.
Originally struck in 1489, the Sovereign rose to world dominance starting in 1817 when it was reintroduced in its current size and gold purity. As the British Empire spread across the globe, so did the prominence of the Sovereign, playing a central role in global commerce. The coin was so trusted across the globe, it literally set the gold standard for all future gold coins.
The only coin to be struck on five continents, the Sovereign was the “original American Express card” accepted almost everywhere on the planet. It was so universally accepted around the world that both American and British pilots carried them as emergency currency in case they got shot down.
2025 however brings an extraordinary year to an extraordinary coin.
For the first time in history, the Royal Mint will strike the first ever Silver Sovereign Proof and you have a front row seat to be a part of numismatic history!
Obverse: Effigy of King Charles III
Reverse: Pistrucci’s iconic design of St. George and the Dragon, the timeless image of good triumphing over evil.
