Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II Gold Sovereign 3-Coin Set

Shortly after Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne in 1953, the first Queen Elizabeth II Gold Sovereign was introduced. As the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth II has had several versions of the historic Sovereign bearing her likeness - each celebrating a different stage of her rule. As the world prepares for her Sapphire Jubilee celebrating 65 years on the throne, a new fifth edition of the Queen Elizabeth II Gold Sovereign has been released later .

Produced from 1998-2015, the fourth edition of the Queen Elizabeth II Sovereign featured a beautiful portrait of the gracefully aging Queen created by artist Ian Rank-Broadley. 1994 to 2015 brought an era of change to the world - the launch of the European Union unified much of continent, while theterrorist attacks of 9/11 threatened to tear it all apart. It was also a time of great tradition and celebration in the Royal Family as the Queen Mother enjoyed her 100th birthday (2000), Queen Elizabeth II marked her Golden Jubilee (50th Anniversary) and her Diamond Jubilee (60th Anniversary), and Her Highness welcomed her great-grandson Prince George (2013).
