This was the first time that Royal Mint used Pistrucci’s original masterpiece with the full inscription on a Sovereign since 1820.
Struck to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Benedetto Pistrucci Sovereign of 1817 and based on the original design of 1817 with the plumed helmet, St George and dragon right, surrounded by the Order of the Garter with a buckle, HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE.
Reverse inscription translates as 'Evil be to he that evil thinks'.

 

Added a few sovereigns to the collection the other day. Just thought I'd take a pic of what was in that box.
 Mostly just the full & half sovereigns but a few other bits.

Fastest Covenant bottle kill?

The Royal Mint publishes the actual sales of its commemorative coins, they cite the 2017 Five Sovereign BU as 992 actually sold and 749 Proof 5 Sovereign issued in the 5 Coin Sovereign Sets.

@Kitalon I am in the exact boat you have describe my stack is exclusively has only 1 oz Gold coins. I had sovereigns and even some 1/4 gold coins but eventually sold them all. As for quickest liquidity option for 1 oz Gold coins all you have do visit Chards/Atkinsons see which dealer offers the best buy back rate. You will find if you were to buy a single coin from a bullion dealer and then upon delivery decided to sell back to the same dealer you would lose on average 3% plus postage cost for (to & from) the dealer provided spot price not changed significantly. Reduce these costs even further purchased from reputable Facebook groups/the forum itself. I have also taken 1 oz Gold coins and exchanged them for several percent over spot in India. Already had safety deposit box to me it made sense to stack 1 oz Gold coins due to the convenience of storage (fit 10 into a single Royal Mint tube), the lower premiums (both buy/sell) and the high liquidity of 1 oz Gold coins.
But in the end have you ever held a 1 oz Gold coin? I remembering holding mine and it was very special moment and I knew if I was to buy Gold this was the form factor that made the most sense to me and still does......

You could add the 1859 Ansell. Not cheap though

Not my coins but came across these when I did a bit of research on the 1902. These coins are notoriously vulnerable and typically receive very low grades. This is why these are so extraordinary.
I first saw the £1 sold by Jon Blyth, he sells some very top grade coins (not sure if he uses this forum but I need to credit him). I tried the submission number and found the rest of the set. The £5  received a 67 at NGC. The highest PCGS graded was 66, and then there are only 64. £1 at 68, and anything else is 66 or below. 
Felt I ought to share these because the 1902 matt sovereigns aren't discussed much. Their mintages are much higher than any other large sovereigns (at 8000), but so few exist in such pristine condition.

2023 Reverse Proof 1oz Coronation Coin
The prettiest coronation coin?
Collected a bunch of graded coins from our very own @GoldDiggerDave, including this beauty.

Proof for comparison.

Thanks @Webster 
1oz proof Britannia 1997
One of the more desirable of the series. Most likely not doing a proof Brit date run because they botched the series with one or two very bad designs, but will be looking at some better examples.

***Only my thoughts, not investment advice***
I'll try and keep this brief, but also try and put perspective to the question you ask by taking a deep dive into the 2017 Pistrucci 200 year Anniversary Proof Sovereign performance since release, and also comparing the premiums above spot on release day of the three 'Special' Sovereign releases subsequent to the 2017.
I think what's interesting and significant about the 2017 release in comparison to the two 2022 releases- The Platinum Jubilee and The Memorial as well as the 2023 Coronation issue was that the premiums the Royal Mint charged have remained fairly static, in fact, they 'slipped up' somewhat with the Platinum Jubilee release! they could have charged more to keep up their consistent premium markup!  
I'm pretty sure that investing in a 2017 Sovereign was a much more difficult ask, as compared to the 2022 Platinum Jubilee issue.  
I would say buyer fatigue (two Sovereign issues in 2022 followed quickly by the 2023 Coronation Issue) alongside a) the Royal Mint Price hikes & b) the market sentiment (cost of living hikes, interest rate hikes etc.etc) have affected current prices of the Memorial/ Coronation Sovereign.
Below exemplifies/compares the premiums over Gold Price of the 'special' Sovereigns:
The 2017 Elizabeth II Pistrucci 200th Anniversary Sovereign issue cost on release was: £480 (Gold Price was around the £1040/ oz),  making 96% premium over Gold Price
The 2022 Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Sovereign issue cost on release was:  £595 (Gold price was £1384/oz), only an 80% premium over Gold Price
The 2022 Charles III, Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign issue cost on release was: £695 (Gold Price was £1497/oz), Making 97% premium over Gold Price.
The 2023 Charles III Coronation Sovereign cost on release was: £725 (Gold Price was £1496), making a 106% premium over Gold Price.
 
So, if we look at the performance of the 2017 Pistrucci Sovereign in more detail: 
I stand corrected, but the issue prices for the 2017 Pistrucci Sovereign were as follows (to the best of my knowledge), but remember, Spot Price was only £1040/oz and released late October 2016:
Quarter: £150
Half: £250
Sovereign: £480
Piedfort: £800 
SOTD: £500 
5 Sovereign Bu: £1785
3 Coin Set- (Sov to Quarter): £750
Premium 3 Coin Set- (2 Sov- Half):  £1450 
5 Coin set: £3295- (5 Sov- Quarter) £3295
There were no 4 coin (2 Sov to Quarter) Sets issued. 
https://agaunews.com/2017-sovereign-recreates-200yr-old-pistrucci-original/  
 
My observations of the market since the 2017 release are as follows
Following initial inertia on release of around a 15% price increase, there was a 'drop' in prices in late 2017- which saw the coins reset back to around release price for the Individual issues:  the Quarter were offered at around £150 and the Half's £250- £275 and the Sovereign £500- £525 sold as raw coins.  
It then slowly increased at the turn of 2018, over and above release price by a minimum of 10% and more prevalent at 20% over the release price raw,  but then we saw the initial steady rise from spring 2020 and then the meteoric rise from the turn of 2021.  The Sovereign now around £850 raw (£1050 top grade) 
The Piedfort (I believe the 2017 was the first Piedfort issue) was not too well received and the prices were dormant over release price until spring 2020- 2021 have seen these rapidly rise in price to around £1200 (£1500 graded today).  
I do know that I bought a 5 Pound 2017 Bu in March 2020 for £10 less than release price! and in keeping with the above, prices have risen sharply since to over £3k top grade. 
The 2017 3 coin raw (Sov through to Quarter) set was available on the secondary market between £800 and £900 up until spring 2020 however, the Premium 3 coin (2 Sovereign to Half 1400 mintage) set and particularly the 5 Coin set, 950 mintage have always kept huge premiums and then came the steady re-rate for these sets from 2020 onwards- and todays prices, as we know are extremely high the 5 coin set in top grade around £10k when available.
 
To conclude, I don't think the enthusiasm for the Sovereign, particularly 'Special' Sovereigns will disappear, it will always be loved and some releases will always be more prized and cherished over another.  You asked will the Memorial/ Coronation Sovereign gain value in years to come above other Proof Sovereigns?  
Well, nothing is set in stone, but the special releases all appear to be doing well, like @Orpster suspects, I also think that over time, they will appreciate somewhat, of course mintage and desirability will effect by how much they might increase- but there's never going to be a better time to buy them as @Chrisplym  @Clockpuncher & @tpcob303point out.  
Personally, I think the Platinum Jubilee will be the biggest winner in the mid term and perform well in the longer- likely a similar trajectory as the 2017 Pistrucci.   I'm not certain about the Memorial short to mid term but long term, its a winner, its a fantastic design.  
However, I think the biggest winner long term will be the Coronation Sovereign- particularly the higher denominations- over its 200 year history Coronation Sovereigns always do extremely well.

Hi all,
As the title suggests I have a 2023 Coronation Sov PF70 First Releases with the Coronation portrait facing up. There won’t be many with this orientation as NGC mount the St George & the Dragon facing the front.

Thanks for looking 😊

Thought I’d share my Britannia’s I’ve managed to accumulate into my collection. The 4 Philip Nathan 1 off designs are the perfect blend of traditional (1997 and 2005) and contemporary (2001 and 2003). The crenellated border detail ties the designs together. Jody Clarks 2014 Britannia is arguably the best design of them all and certainly the most sought after, incredible balance of elegance and strength. Also have the 2oz 2021 gold Britannia designed by P.J Lynch, a beautiful modern snapshot in time.
Though the 2023 design wasn’t too bad recent designs haven’t been the most inspiring which is a shame.
