2020 three Sovereign set, including a ‘full’ Sovereign, a Half Sovereign and a Quarter Sovereign. 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. For this year only, a tiny mint mark has been added to the left of the date on the reverse. It marks 200 years since the end of the reign of George III. 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. They are all finished to a superior proof standard with multiple strikes of hand-finished dies. Only 750 of these three coin sets were offered by The Royal Mint in 2020 making them sought-after today. You’ll receive your 2020 proof set in its original packaging which comprises of a presentation box in which the coins are sealed in individual capsules, a card gift box and an information booklet.

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.
Collector's Sovereign Set
Your 2020 Sovereigns come in their original packaging from The Royal Mint. Each coin is sealed within its capsule, inside an attractive presentation case, complete with a detailed information booklet and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
All Sovereigns, including those in this set are exempt from Capital Gains Tax as UK legal tender and free from VAT in the UK and EU as investment grade gold.
We also offer individual 2020 proof 'full' Sovereigns (7,995 issued in this presentation). 2020 Sovereigns are also available in a bullion finish though these do not feature the George III privy mark. If you're not worried about the date we also offer mixed-year Sovereigns at our competitive best value price.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.
A Millennia of Minting
Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.
The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.
In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.
Collecting and Investing
The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.
Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.
The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.

Offer a great selection of coins at a great price. I placed an order and received one incorrect coin by mistake. However, their response was quick, communication was clear, and they resolved the issue promptly by sending the correct coin. Their professionalism and customer service impressed me, so I was happy to order from them again.
