About this coin

The Last of the Rose Gold: The 2025 Gold Proof Sovereign in NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo

The gold proof sovereign is The Royal Mint's definitive annual collector issue, and the 2025 release carries genuine significance beyond the calendar year: it is the final proof sovereign to be struck in the warmer rose/red gold alloy The Royal Mint has used since the early 2000s, before production transitions back to a brighter yellow gold standard in 2026. Struck in 7.98 grams of 22-carat gold and finished to the highest proof standard, this coin carries Benedetto Pistrucci's classic St George and the Dragon reverse alongside Martin Jennings' official coinage portrait of King Charles III.

The Royal Mint issued the 2025 proof sovereign with a maximum mintage of just 2,025 — a deliberately symbolic figure tied to the year of issue, and a genuinely tight ceiling for a standard annual sovereign. This example has been certified NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo — the highest grade numerically achievable — and sits within a confirmed population of just 82 examples graded at this flawless level worldwide. At PF70, every surface is considered absolutely perfect under expert examination at 5x magnification: no contact marks, no striking weakness, no handling imperfections of any kind.

Why This Coin

The Final "Rose Gold" Proof Sovereign: Since the early 2000s, modern proof sovereigns have carried a warmer, copper-rich tone in their gold alloy. The 2025 issue is the last sovereign struck to this specification before The Royal Mint transitions to a brighter, more traditional yellow gold standard in 2026 — complete with new security features including latent images and microtext. For collectors tracking the metallurgical evolution of the series, the 2025 date is a genuine "end of era" specimen, not simply another annual release.
A Symbolic and Genuinely Tight Mintage of 2,025: The Royal Mint capped this issue at exactly 2,025 coins — a deliberate nod to the year, and a notably restrictive figure for a standard full sovereign. By comparison to many other modern annual proof issues, this is a meaningfully smaller ceiling, and demand has already reflected that: PF70 examples were trading above £2,000 within months of release.
Top Pop — Only 82 in PF70: NGC's certified population for this issue currently records just 82 examples at the perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo grade. Against a maximum mintage of 2,025, that represents a striking ratio — confirming this coin's status among the scarcest modern PF70 sovereigns by population, not simply by mintage figure alone.
The First Carolean Years Are Already Being Watched Closely: Collectors building complete date runs of King Charles III sovereigns recognise that the earliest years of any new monarch's coinage attract disproportionate long-term interest. Securing a PF70 Ultra Cameo example from this critical transitional period — at the lowest population currently recorded — places this coin firmly in "finest known" territory before wider collector attention catches up.
CGT & VAT Exempt — Fully Tax-Free for UK Investors: As official UK legal tender, the gold proof sovereign is completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and VAT under current UK law. Any appreciation in value is entirely tax-free for UK holders.

💷 UK Tax Status

This coin is CGT exempt and VAT free for UK residents. As British legal tender, any gain on sale is not subject to Capital Gains Tax — a significant advantage for investors holding gold sovereigns as part of a long-term portfolio.

"The closing chapter of the rose gold era — a symbolic mintage of 2,025, and a Top Pop population of just 82, certified flawless."

Yes. We accept all proof coins and graded coins in part exchange, including NGC and PCGS certified coins, boxed gold and silver proofs, and proof sets.
