The obverse of each coin features a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen by Jody Clark, in use on British money since 2015. This is paired with the classic Saint George and the Dragon reverse, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci for the first modern Sovereigns.

He was on the throne when the specification of the modern Sovereign was established. The mint mark is a cypher which sits opposite Pistrucci’s initials on all three of these proof coins. Each piece is struck to long standing specifications in 22 carat gold. The total weight of the coins in the set is 13.96 grams, equating to 12.80 grams of fine gold across the three pieces.

Three coin 2020 Sovereign set with a special mint mark to honour George III.

George III's Royal Cypher

The very first gold Sovereigns were struck in the 1400s by the Tudor kings and their prestigious legacy was reclaimed when the modern Sovereign was introduced in 1817. George III was on the British throne at the time and its his legacy that’s celebrated on the 2020 Sovereign, 200 years after the end of his reign.

For this year only, The Royal Mint authorised a special cypher mint mark to be included on the reverse of their proof Sovereigns. A cypher combines the initials of a monarch with their title. In this case, Kerry Davies’ design includes an 'R' for 'Rex' and a 'G' for 'George'.

It's a subtle motif that sits next to the date on the reverse of these coins, speaking to their long history. The 'full' Sovereign and the Half Sovereign have been minted to the same specification since George's reign so it's appropriate to mark this significant anniversary.

Three 2020 Gold Sovereigns

This presentation set includes a a 'full' Sovereign, a Half Sovereign and a Quarter Sovereign, all dated 2020. In total the three 22 carat coins offer 12.80 grams of fine gold.

This 2020 set comes from a limited presentation of just 750.

Each coin shows Jody Clark's portrait of Her Majesty the Queen to the obverse, in use on British money since 2015. The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's classic Saint George and the dragon design. His depiction of England's patron saint shows him in the act of slaying the prone beast, crushed beneath his horses hooves. The royal cypher appears to the left of the date, opposite Pistrucci’s initials.
