The 2012 Gold Proof Sovereign 5-Coin Collection brings together every denomination issued by The Royal Mint that year – from the commanding Five Sovereign piece down to the finely detailed Quarter Sovereign. Each coin is struck to the highest proof standard in 22 carat gold, showcasing Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon reverse alongside Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Issued to mark Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee year, the 2012 set holds both historic and commemorative significance. These coins were never intended for circulation and were only available as part of limited edition sets, adding to their appeal among collectors and long-term investors alike.

The set is presented in its original Royal Mint presentation case with accompanying numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Every coin in the collection has deep mirrored fields and frosted design features, with pristine detail from the multiple proof strikes.

This is an outstanding opportunity to own a complete year set of gold proof sovereigns in superb condition, ideal for serious collectors, Jubilee commemorative enthusiasts or those building a full year-date sovereign collection.

Please note that we only deliver to the address provided at checkout and cannot ship to PO Box addresses. Once your order is dispatched, you'll receive a tracking number to monitor its progress.

Returns Policy

Please note that prices for bullion products are directly linked to the live precious metals markets. As such, all bullion sales are final – we are unable to offer refunds or exchanges once an order has been placed. This policy is in accordance with the Financial Services (Distance Marketing) Regulations 2004 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, under which there is no statutory right to cancel bullion orders.

If you're unsure about a particular item, we strongly encourage you to contact us with any questions before placing your order, to help minimise unnecessary handling and ensure your satisfaction.

Precious Metal Price Fluctuations

Please note that the prices of precious metals, such as gold and silver, are subject to fluctuations due to market conditions. As a result, the price of our bullion products can change frequently.

When you place an order, the price is locked in at the time of purchase, ensuring you pay the agreed amount regardless of any subsequent market movements.

We recommend acting quickly if you see a price that suits your investment strategy, as prices can vary significantly in a short period.

Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver

At Sovara Coins, we offer both new and preowned gold and silver products to suit various investment strategies. Purchasing preowned bullion can be a cost-effective option, as it often comes with a lower premium over the spot price, allowing you to maximize your investment.

While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
