2015-21 bullion sovereign and double sovereign mintages

[Chris99a]

hi I was just wondering if anyone had the bullion mintages for the 2015-21 (5th head) sovereigns and the 2020-21 bullion double sovereign mintages as I cannot find anything. even aproximate numbers would be a help eg maxium numbers or estimates just cannot find anything online 

 

many thanks 

also sorry half sovereigns 2015-21 should have been there too

I am looking for the numbers as well.  But RM seems didn't publish the figures since many many years ago, may be it involves top national security issue😅

Yep - the RM say that this information is commercially sensitive.  All reasonable people would disagree 😉

Marsh 2021 edition doesn't have much info. Ps there were no 5th head bullion half sovs for 2015 only proof. Only 4th head and a mintage of 500. 2016 was 472  2017 unknown and 2018-2021 figures only for proof.

it is odd that they have only just decided in the past few years that information they have allways issued is now sensative. why do you think that could be. e.g exceptionaly high or low figgures that could cause demand fluctuation of released maybe or governmental gold stocks of soverwigns being built up so figgures may not be released as they would be controdictuary? its very odd in all honesty

I suspect that the bullion sovereign mintage figures since about 2012 have been fairly high - but so what, it doesn't matter.  Most of us I suspect are merely interested in the numbers as a matter of record, rather than about scarcity etc.

Basically, none of the recent bullion sovereigns from 2015 onwards are particularly scarce in my opinion.  The sovereigns from 2003 to 2008 are relatively scarce, but still not too difficult to find if you really want a particular date.
