Delivery within 5-7 working days. Gold proof Sovereign with shield reverse; new for 2025 from The Royal Mint. These proof Sovereigns feature a classic design by 19th-century engraver Jean Baptiste Merlen, which first appeared on these 22-carat British coins 200 years ago. Merlen’s 1825 design can only be seen on 5,000 individually presented proof Sovereigns, which sit alongside a separate issue featuring Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic St George and the dragon motif. Both 2025 proof Sovereign releases utilise Martin Jennings’ definitive, uncrowned portrait of King Charles III for the obverse. Struck to a historic specification, these coins are composed of 7.98 grams of 91.67% gold. They will be the last to feature a rose-gold hue. We are offering these 2025 coins in their original Royal Mint presentation packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Order now while stocks last and enjoy free, insured delivery.

Description Specification Summary

Obverse Of 2025 Shield Sovereigns

The obverse of 2025 shield Sovereigns shows sculptor Martin Jennings' portrait of King Charles III, facing left and uncrowned. The legend around this reads 'CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·'.

2025 Shield Back Sovereign Reverse

The reverse of these 2025 coins features a 200-year-old design created by engraver Jean Baptiste Merlen for the 1825 Sovereign in the reign of George IV. A crowned shield of royal arms is surrounded by a legend which reads 'ARMA GEORGII IV BRITANNIARUM REGIS'.

Specifications For 2025 Proof Sovereigns

2025 shield Sovereigns are struck in 7.98 grams of 22-carat gold with an attractive proof finish. These coins are destined to be the last Sovereigns with a rose-gold colour since a slightly different alloy is to be used in 2026.

Limited Edition Premium Proof Coin

Only 5,000 of these shield-back 2025 gold proof coins are to be issued by The Royal Mint. This is a notable reduction in mintage figures from recent years and a lot lower than previous proof Sovereigns with one-off designs. You will receive your 20205 Shield Sovereign in its original packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
