The highly anticipated 2025 Sovereign has finally been revealed marking a pivotal moment for Britain’s flagship gold coin. This year’s release brings a ground-breaking new chapter, with some of the most significant changes in recent history.

The Royal Mint have confirmed that 2025 will be the last-ever Sovereign issue minted in the iconic rose-gold alloy, signalling the end of an era for one of Britain’s most treasured coins.

From 2026 onwards, collectors can expect a transition to a new yellow-gold alloy for the Sovereign. This change represents a new era, ensuring that the 2025 coin will be highly sought after as the last of its kind.

Changes ahead: here’s how you can expect the Sovereign’s appearance to look:

A new addition: Silver Sovereign to shake the collecting world

In an unexpected move, The Royal Mint has also revealed it will be issuing the first-ever UK Silver Sovereign.

This is unprecedented. The new addition to the Sovereign family has already caused a stir among collectors, positioning Silver Sovereigns as essential but exciting pieces of  UK history.

Reviving the Shield Design

As if these changes weren’t exciting enough, The Royal Mint has also unveiled a fresh design on the Gold Proof Sovereign’s reverse. For the first time in over two decades, the 2025 Sovereign will feature a Shield design, paying tribute to 200 years since the Shield first appeared on a Sovereign in 1825, under the reign of King George IV.

The last Shield design was featured in 2002, celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee. That edition was simply phenomenal, with all 20,500 coins selling out, making it one of the most sought-after Sovereigns in recent history.

With only 5,000 of this year’s 2025 Shield Sovereigns available, we anticipate an unprecedented rush among collectors.
