The 2015 Strike on the Day Sovereign MS70 DPL is one of the rarest and most desirable modern bullion sovereigns ever issued, combining an important royal date, an extremely limited mintage and a virtually unobtainable top grade.
This sovereign was BU Struck on the Day on 22 July 2015, marking Prince George’s 2nd birthday. Only 301 coins were struck on this specific day, making it one of the lowest-mintage Strike on the Day sovereign issues.
Despite being a bullion (BU) sovereign, this example has achieved the extraordinary grade of MS70 DPL, confirming a flawless coin under magnification with deep prooflike mirrored fields. Out of the entire mintage of 301 coins, only 5 examples have achieved MS70 DPL, placing this piece among the very finest known.

RARITY & POPULATION
This coin sits in an elite category of modern sovereigns:
• Total Strike on the Day mintage: 301 coins
• Grade: MS70 DPL (Deep Prooflike)

Achieving MS70 on a bullion sovereign is exceptionally difficult. Achieving MS70 with a Deep Prooflike designation places this coin in an entirely different league, rivaling proof issues for visual quality while retaining bullion sovereign status.
WHY THIS COIN IS SO DESIRABLE
Strike on the Day sovereigns already command strong collector interest due to their specific historical dates. When combined with an ultra-low mintage, a royal milestone and a virtually unobtainable top grade, the result is a true standout within modern British numismatics.
The Prince George Strike on the Day sovereigns are particularly popular due to their connection to the future of the monarchy, and MS70 DPL examples are rarely seen on the open market.
