200th Anniversary of the First Modern Sovereign
The 2017 proof sovereign celebrates the 200th anniversary of the first modern sovereign. The Royal Mint have remastered the original 1817 reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci.
Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense
The garter inscription on the St. George and the Dragon reverse reads "Honi soit qui mal y pense", which is French for "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it".
This is the motto of the Order of the Garter, the highest order of chivalry in the UK. Find out more on our Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense page.
Obverse
The obverse features the fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark. This is the first time since 1887 that the date has featured on the obverse of the coin.
Reverse
The reverse shows a remastered St George and the Dragon design. The Royal Mint crafted the tools for the design from the 1817 Benedetto Pistrucci original.

Wanted
We play an active part in the secondary market for many gold and silver products, including three coin sovereign sets so we would be more than happy to purchase a 2013 (or any other date) three coin set from you.
This obviously means that we may at some point have one for sale, so if you would like to telephone us and place an order we would hope to fulfil it with time.
