1991 Sovereign Coins

Explore our collection of 1991 Sovereign Coins, a notable early 1990s issue from Britain’s flagship gold coin series. Struck by The Royal Mint, the 1991 Sovereign continues the long-established tradition dating back to 1817, pairing Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon reverse with the Raphael Maklouf portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Issued in 22-carat gold, the 1991 Sovereign is part of the established Maklouf-era run and is especially well known for its limited proof-only production for collector issues.

Proof Focused Modern Sovereign Year

The 1991 Sovereign is best known as a collector-led issue, with production heavily focused on proof-quality coins.

Typical formats include:

• Gold Proof Full Sovereign
• Half Sovereign Proof
• Double Sovereign (£2) Proof
• Five Sovereign (£5) Proof
• 3-coin and 4-coin proof sets
• Presentation issues from The Royal Mint
• Certified and graded coins (PCGS / NGC)

This structure makes it especially attractive to collectors rather than bullion-only buyers.
