How much is a 3 coin small Sovereign set worth?
26th September 2025 : Today, we're paying a minimum of £1,148.61 for the three coin (small) Sovereign set. If you have the set that contains the double, full and half Sovereigns, please refer to our 3 coin set page.
Containing one Quarter Sovereign, one Half Sovereign, and a Full Sovereign, these gold Sovereign sets are full of appeal to both collectors and investors. Quarter to Full Sovereign sets have been produced following the Quarter's modern introduction and often include a special design or commemorative theme.
As a numismatic package, it is hard to look past a grouping of three Sovereigns (often present in exacting proof quality) when searching for a UK coinage showpiece. Some examples may even hold a premium value as a result.

What Types Of 3 Sovereign Sets Are There?
Three Sovereign sets are often released in celebration of an important event, design, or change in coinage production. Broadly, three common themes can be identified: type sets, which may highlight the same reverse design struck across the reigns of multiple monarchs; year sets, Sovereigns struck in the same mintage year with varying designs or mint marks; and commemorative sets, released in celebration of a significant anniversary and often holding unique examples.
Another key consideration is that triple Sovereign collections have two varying denomination types. The set referenced here contains two fractional Sovereigns and the full Sovereign. Another common grouping is the Half, Full, and Double Sovereign, which we also have a dedicated page for on our site.
While it may be apparent from the supplementary information in your set, we understand it can be difficult to identify exactly which Sovereign set you want to sell. This is why our in-house numismatists are happy to do exactly that for you! The first step is to fill out our online claim form, before we are able to inspect your Sovereigns in person prior to making our fairest offer.
25p, 50p, And £1 Sovereign Set Specifications
The Quarter Sovereign is the most fractional of the set, holding a 1.99 gram gross weight inclusive of 1.83 grams, or 0.059 troy ounces, of pure gold. Next comes the Half Sovereign with 0.117 troy ounces (3.66 grams) of gold.
Lastly, the Full Sovereign rounds out the set with 7.32 grams of gold. Sets containing each of these coins therefore total 12.81 grams of gold content, or 0.411 troy ounces. Given the often limited and commemorative nature of three Sovereign sets, your set may fetch much more than the equivalent price for 12.81 grams of bullion gold.
