The Sovereigns of the Modern Monarch Double Silver Sovereign Set 

The Sovereigns of the Modern Monarch - Silver Double Sovereign Set can be yours for just £199 (plus £3.95 P&P)

For the last 200 years, Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic image of Saint George’s battle with the dragon graced the sovereign coin. Since 1817, every monarch who issued sovereigns has used the Pistrucci design to tell the story of the triumph of Good over Evil. But there is so much more to the legend of Saint George and the dragon than just one artist’s vision – no matter how magnificent. The legend continues to inspire us with its timeless themes of courage, faith, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

When King Charles III took the throne, he promised to uphold the long traditions of the monarchy, while also updating it and making it even more relevant to our modern age. It is not surprising then, that our new ‘Modern Monarch’ is the first king in British history to issue two different designs of Saint George and the dragon on sovereigns bearing his royal portrait.

A FIRST EVER in over 200 years of sovereign history! Minted in pure .999 silver to proof quality – the highest possible standard, the classic Saint George and the dragon design can be found hidden within the intricate detailing of the Princess’ flowing hair on the 2023 Double Silver Sovereign, while the 2024 Proof Double Silver Sovereign returns to a more traditional image of Saint George about to vanquish the mighty dragon. Limited to only 1,948 sets worldwide, this is your chance to be a part of sovereign history by owning this pure .999 proof double silver sovereign set.
