The 2025 Silver Sovereign 2-Coin Set pairs the first Silver Sovereign with its Shield Privy companion. Both coins are graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo, carry First Day of Issue labels, and are hand-signed by Martin Jennings. In addition, each coin sits in its own NGC holder with a Royal Mint label.
For 536 years, the name Sovereign meant gold. Therefore, the first Silver Sovereign marks a historic first for the series. The Royal Mint struck only 50,000 proofs for worldwide demand, and it limited the Shield Privy version to 15,000 coins. As a result, owning both makes a strong pairing for collectors.
Martin Jennings designed the obverse portrait of King Charles III for the Silver Sovereign. Meanwhile, Benedetto Pistrucci designed the reverse, St George and the Dragon. The shield privy recalls the Royal Arms shield by Jean Baptiste Merlen, which first appeared on the Sovereign in 1825. The photographs show representative Silver Sovereign holders, front and back.
Collectors of the Silver Sovereign often chase a standard strike and its privy variant together. Moreover, a matching pair with the same grade and the same signature keeps the set consistent. As a result, this Silver Sovereign set suits Royal Mint collectors and Sovereign enthusiasts alike.
