The 2018 Gold Proof Double Sovereign was issued to mark the 65th anniversary of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a remarkable royal milestone. This special edition features a discreet privy mark on the reverse to commemorate the occasion, making it one of the more sought-after modern commemorative sovereigns.
Struck in 22-carat gold and graded PCGS PR70DCAM, this coin is in perfect condition – with ultra-deep mirrored fields and heavily frosted devices that highlight every detail of the design.
The reverse bears Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless St George and the Dragon design, while the obverse carries the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.
As a double sovereign, it contains twice the gold content of a standard full sovereign and offers greater visual presence and investment appeal. The addition of the coronation privy mark further enhances its rarity and collectibility.

Why This Coin Stands Out
The 2018 Gold Proof Double Sovereign with the 65th Coronation Privy Mark is a flawless, low-mintage issue celebrating a royal milestone that will likely never be repeated. In perfect PR70 Deep Cameo condition, it stands at the pinnacle of modern sovereign collecting – combining historical significance, design excellence and rarity in one exceptional coin.

Delivery Information
We offer free insured delivery across the UK on all orders. Every coin is carefully inspected, securely packaged, and sent using Royal Mail Special Delivery - a fully tracked, next-day service that requires a signature on receipt.
All parcels are shipped discreetly and fully insured for peace of mind.

Because bullion prices are directly linked to the live precious metals markets, bullion sales are final. This is standard across the industry and protects both buyer and seller from fluctuations.
For non-bullion items (such as proof coins, graded coins or accessories), we’re happy to accept returns within 14 days of receipt if you feel your coin is not as described and provided the item is returned in its original condition, please contact us and we’ll be glad to help.
If an item is returned for reasons other than being not as described, return postage will be the responsibility of the buyer.

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.
