The 2020 EU Withdrawal Strike-on-the-Day Gold Sovereign is one of the most historically significant modern sovereigns, issued to commemorate the United Kingdom’s official departure from the European Union on 31 January 2020.
Struck by The Royal Mint on the very day of Brexit, this sovereign is finished with a matte (frosted) surface and was issued in highly limited numbers as part of a one-day striking event. This particular example has been graded NGC MS70 Matte, meaning it is in perfect mint state with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification.
The reverse features the timeless St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, while the obverse bears the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. As a UK legal tender coin, it is also Capital Gains Tax exempt for UK investors.
Coin Highlights
- Struck on 31 January 2020 – the day the UK formally left the EU

- Special matte finish exclusive to the Strike-on-the-Day release
- Contains 7.98g of 22-carat gold

Why This Coin Stands Out
The 2020 EU Withdrawal Sovereign isn’t just a gold coin – it’s a time capsule of political and numismatic history. With its low mintage, matte proof-like finish, and flawless MS70 grade, it’s a standout addition to any serious modern sovereign collection.
Whether you're a political memorabilia enthusiast, a gold investor or a dedicated collector of Strike-on-the-Day issues, this coin represents a once-in-a-generation moment in gold.

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.
