The 2022 Memorial Matte Gold Five Sovereign is one of the most exclusive modern sovereigns ever issued by The Royal Mint. Struck in 22-carat gold with a special matte finish, this historic release marks the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the beginning of the reign of King Charles III.
The reverse features Timothy Noad’s reinterpretation of the Royal Arms, symbolising unity and national heritage, while the obverse bears the first official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
Graded by NGC as MS70 Matte, this coin has achieved the highest possible grade, indicating absolute perfection with flawless surfaces and superb strike quality. Matte sovereigns are produced in extremely limited numbers, often reserved for special occasions, making this one of the rarest sovereigns of the modern era.
As the first five-sovereign piece to feature His Majesty King Charles III, the 2022 Memorial Matte issue is a landmark in British numismatic history and a must-have for serious collectors.
