Sovereigns have a close connection to the monarchy (it's in the name!) and previous issues have featured special designs to mark special royal occasions like jubilees. Sometime soon we'll also see a 2023-dated Sovereign range. View the range here: 2022 Memorial Sovereigns. We’ve got a limited number of Memorial proof coins, sets and bullion investment pieces in stock at the time of writing. Designed by Jody Clark and featuring Martin Jennings' new royal portrait, the Memorial Sovereign is dated 2022 but was actually issued in early 2023. That made last year the first to feature two distinct Sovereign designs, one created by Timothy Noad to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee and the latter as a tribute to Her Majesty life and legacy, shortly after her passing in September. The first King Charles III gold Sovereigns were actually issued in 2022. The delayed release might have something to do with the new One Pound coin due to be released this year. Usually, definitive sets are released at the same time as the commemorative sets with some larger sets including both types of coins. Definitive sets include the standard designs that feature on the money in circulation like the Britannia £2 and the shield design that appears on modern 50ps. No definitive annual sets have yet been made available. We're offering an extensive range of 2023 commemorative annual sets including: You can find out more about these coins below but right now most are only available in these collector's sets. We've got 2023 commemorative sets in stock now, featuring the 2023 75th Birthday £5, the 2023 J R R Tolkien £2, the 2023 Flying Scotsman £2, the 2023 NHS 50p and the 2023 Windrush 50p. These eagerly anticipated coin sets feature the five key collectable coins of 2023. New commemorative 2023 UK Annual Sets dropped in January. Here's what we know so far about 2023 coins from the UK's national mint. These formal announcements signpost upcoming Royal Mint releases and we can already tell there's some great stuff in the pipeline. Some are part of ongoing series and others we know about through proclamations published in The Gazette. We've seen a few 2023 coins already but there's more to come since The Royal Mint spreads their releases through the year. That includes Sovereigns, 50ps and Britannias, as well as a wide range of fresh 2023 collectables. New commemorative and investment coins from the UK's national mint have also been updated to show His Majesty. The first King Charles III circulating coins have been issued and change checkers are already finding them in their change.

2023 is a big year for UK coin collectors.
