The Royal Mint is proud to present The Sovereign 2022 bullion coin range made to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. This year, Queen Elizabeth II marks 70 years on the throne and becomes the first British monarch to achieve this momentous milestone. To honour this unprecedented event, our prestigious 2022 Sovereign bullion coin range features a new, exclusive Platinum Jubilee design on the reverse by renowned artist Timothy Noad. The obverse features the latest definitive portrait of The Queen by Jody Clark.
First produced on behalf of Henry VII in 1498, The Sovereign has always had an association with royalty. Often referred to as the ‘chief coin in the world’, The Royal Mint’s flagship coin has international appeal and each bullion coin produced by The Royal Mint undergoes a rigorous testing process to ensure investors can collect with confidence.

How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
