The genius behind this approach is renowned artist Matt Dent, designer of the current British circulating coins, 1p to 50p.

We spoke to Matt about his journey through the creation of these designs, and here is what he had to say about what it was like to design this important gold sovereign ‘first’ series….

Posted on by Vanessa Brockwell

Tutankhamun

On 4th November 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered, sparking quite simply one of the richest and most important archaeological discoveries of all time. For some 3,000 years, the burial site of the young Egyptian pharaoh had lain unknown until British archaeologist Howard Carter located it in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.

Even today, a whole century after the discovery was made, the name Tutankhamun is still associated with the riches of ancient Egypt, and Howard Carter must rank as the most famous archaeologist of all time. To celebrate the 100th year anniversary of this discovery, an important gold sovereign ‘first’ series has been released, simulating these gold treasures emerging from the dark. Introducing The 2022 Tutankhamun Discovery 100th Anniversary Gold Sovereign Range, and in particular, the quarter sovereign…

Posted on by Vanessa Brockwell

Queen Elizabeth II

We were all saddened to hear that Queen Elizabeth II passed away on 8th of September. Her Late Majesty has been part of our lives for such a long time that it almost seemed that she may have continued reigning ‘forever’. Of course, this is not possible, and we are now faced with the hard reality of that truth.

For some it may seem ‘too soon’ to start talking about celebrating her life and legacy, but now that we have moved past the original shock, it’s time to be grateful for what was an incredible seventy years of service to the British people. A new series of sovereign coins have just been announced in tribute to the life of service and devotion of Queen Elizabeth II. Introducing The 2022 Queen Elizabeth II Tribute Gold Sovereign Range, and in particular, the one-eighth sovereign…

The 2022 St George and the Dragon Bi-Metallic Gold Sovereign Range

Gold St George and the Dragon Statue

Ask just about anyone in Britain, or indeed around the world, to describe a gold sovereign and chances are they will describe a gold coin with St George vanquishing the dragon. This mythical tale of good triumphing over evil has such a long and illustrious association with the gold sovereign coin that the two are almost synonymous.

Now, in 2022, the year of the Platinum Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II, a dynamic new rendition of St George slaying the dragon has been created, and to elevate this new edition beyond those that have gone before, it is being struck – for the first time ever – in two types of solid 22 carat gold! Introducing The 2022 St George and the Dragon Bi-Metallic Gold Sovereign Range, and in particular, the one-eighth sovereign…
