Eighteen reasons to get excited about Sovereigns.
I received a lovely 1863 Victoria Sovereign today and this one concluded my 'Change of Portrait' Type Set from 1817 to present day 😅  The type set includes all the Portrait changes for each Monarch.  I have attempted to acquire the inaugural year date for each Portrait change. 
All the 19th Century examples are Sovereigns and where practicable, all of the 20th & 21st Century Sovereigns are Proof examples.  
Over time I will likely try and seek out a nicer example of the 1825 George IV; replace the 1836 William IV with the inaugural year of 1831; attempt to do the same by replacing the 1863 Victoria with a nice 1838 example and for Elizabeth II, replace the 1987 Maklouf Portrait with the inaugural 1985 year date.  
In the meantime, for those who appreciate them, enjoy the Sovereigns 😀

This stunning coin from the Royal Mint celebrates the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It is a 5oz silver proof coin complete with all original packaging and Certificate of Authenticity number 224.
£525 with Royal Mail Special Delivery included.

Granted they churn out their fair share of tat, but no Mint in a similar position would do differently. 
The Platinum Jubilee, death of the Queen and Coronation of the new King are truly historic events that warrant commemoration. A lot of these coins, and all of the Sovereigns, will be long term winners.

Regardless of any “special” events 10/20 years down the road, there will only ever be the first crowned coronation sovereign proof. These are not flippers. These are heirlooms through several generations and beyond.
