This premium collectors set includes three coins from the 2026 proof Sovereign collection, including:
The obverse of each coin features Martin Jennings' uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, first introduced in 2022. The refined portrait is framed by a Latin inscription that reads 'CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·'.
On the reverse, Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless 19th-century design depicts Saint George on horseback defeating a dragon, a motif that has been synonymous with the Sovereign series since 1817. The year of issue appears below the ground line.
Each coin in the set is struck in 22-carat gold (91.67% fine), following a specification that has remained unchanged for over two centuries. The 2026 issue marks a return to a classic yellow gold alloy, seen on historic British Sovereigns.
Just 650 of these three-coin sets have been authorised for release worldwide by The Royal Mint. Sets like these are the only way of acquiring the proof Quarter Sovereign, which is not set for individual release.
These pre-owned three-coin Sovereign sets come complete with the official Royal Mint presentation case, which contains the three Sovereigns, plus an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.
