This Royal Mint box-set features a single gold 2018 Proof Sovereign coin with the 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.

The 2018 Proof Sovereign features a '65' mint mark to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's sapphire coronation; the first coin to feature this special symbol.

This coin weighs the same as a regular (or Bullion) Sovereign, at 7.98grams and 22-carat gold (91.67% fineness). This proof has been struck using specially selected blanks and highly polished dies. During striking, the coinage dies exert enormous pressure on the coin blank, with at least two separate blows (or strikes), ensuring that the impression has extra clarity. Complete with its own booklet/Certificate of Authenticity. This Gold Sovereign is bound in a good looking case.
