Sovereign Gold Coin | 2022

The 2022 Gold Sovereign marks a truly historic moment — the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Celebrating 70 years on the throne, the Queen becomes the first British monarch to reach this remarkable milestone. Issued by the Royal Mint, this special-edition Sovereign pays tribute to a reign defined by dedication, service, and continuity.

Design Details

It showcases a reinterpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms, with the Lion of England and the Unicorn of Scotland flanking a crowned shield. The national motto, Dieu et Mon Droit (“God and my right”), adopted after the Battle of Gisors in 1198, appears beneath — a proud emblem of British sovereignty.

Obverse: Depicts the fifth and current definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The Queen wears the Royal Diadem and exquisite jewels, rendered with remarkable precision and detail, honouring her dignity and longevity.
