2026 Centenary of Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Proof Sovereign (SD)

Own a superb NEW Sovereign

As the nation marks 100 years since the birth of Queen Elizabeth II in 2026, a NEW Platinum Proof Sovereign Coin has been released to pay tribute to our beloved former monarch following its official approval at Buckingham Palace.

A tribute to Her Majesty’s 70-year reign

Our late sovereign was born on the 21st April 1926 in Mayfair as the eldest child of the Duke and Duchess of York. When her uncle King Edward VIII abdicated, her life changed dramatically as she became next in line to the throne. Elizabeth II inherited this position at just 25 years old in 1952, and she continued to reign for a remarkable 70 years until her passing in 2022.

Expertly struck in Fine Platinum

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, this new coin has been meticulously struck in 999.5/1000 Fine Platinum to the highest Proof finish. This sought-after NEW tribute includes renowned artist Sandra Deiana’s ONE-YEAR-ONLY design, inspired by a famous photograph of Her Majesty taken during the beginning of her reign in 1952 by Dorothy Wilding – this official portrait also featured on the UK’s first official postage stamps of the Queen’s reign.

Hurry! Only 99 available

As countless collectors look to mark this milestone anniversary, demand is continuing to rise. So, with a low worldwide mintage of just 99 sovereign coins, availability at Harrington and Byrne is strictly limited and an early reservation is essential. The coin comes housed in a luxury Presentation Case with Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its official specifications.
