An exceptional five-coin gold Sovereign Proof collection from The Royal Mint, issued in 2023 to commemorate the historic Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.

Celebrating the beginning of a new era in British royal history, this prestigious collection brings together five denominations of the iconic British Sovereign, each struck in solid 22ct gold to The Royal Mint's exacting Proof standard.

The collection is particularly significant for featuring the first crowned coinage portrait of King Charles III, designed by renowned British sculptor Martin Jennings exclusively for the Coronation collection. The obverse depicts His Majesty wearing the Tudor Crown, while the reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's celebrated depiction of St George slaying the dragon, a design synonymous with British Sovereign coinage for over two centuries.

At the heart of the collection is the impressive Five-Sovereign Piece (Quintuple Sovereign), weighing almost 40 grams of 22ct gold and representing the largest denomination within the set.

Limited to just 1,050 presentation sets, this particular collection is individually numbered 010 of 1,050, making it an especially attractive early-numbered example of this important commemorative release.

This distinguished set forms part of a wider collection of historic and collectible precious metal coins acquired by Dobson Fine Jewellery, encompassing exceptional examples of British numismatic artistry and heritage.
