How much is a 5 coin Sovereign set worth?
8th July 2025 : Today, we're paying a minimum of £4,801.44 for Royal Mint 5 coin Sovereign sets.
The Royal Mint is historically selective with their production of sets containing all five Sovereign denominations from the £5 to 25p, and have only produced collections of this nature since 2009. Even since then these sets are not apparent in every year and, once released, are often subject to extremely narrow issue limits. Much of the collectable draw of complete sets such as yours can be traced to the Quintuple £5 Sovereign, the majority of which in existence are only available within sets.
Most 5 coin Sovereign sets are struck to mark a special occasion or anniversary. Examples include the 200th anniversary of the Sovereign's reintroduction set released in 2009 and 2012's Diamond Jubilee set, including a rare alternative reverse design.
Due to the scarcity of these complete sets on the collector's market, Gold Traders will pay competitive rates to those looking to sell their Sovereigns, with bespoke valuations offered upfront on a set-by-set basis.

Specification Of The Five Sovereign Set
While, as above, variance can be seen in design and 'finishing touches', all complete Sovereign five coin sets share several specifications.
For instance, each coin is struck in 22ct gold. This is an alloy of 91.67% fineness and has been used for the Sovereign since its reintroduction in 1817. The result is a combined total of 64.07 grams of pure gold across the entire set. While intended for the collector's market, this amount of pure gold - 2.05 troy ounces - is far from a disappointing intrinsic bullion value!
The obverse design your coins bear will generally depict the definitive coinage bust of the ruling monarch. Given the recent introduction of the five Sovereign set, Elizabeth II is present on most existing examples. Her final appearance as monarch is found in 2022's five-coin set, struck to mark her Platinum Jubilee with a special reverse design. 2023 and 2024, however, saw Charles III Quintuple - Quarter Sovereign sets produced, with no doubt more to come featuring The Late Queen's son.
With variation among design, issue limit, privy seals, and mint marks it can be difficult to pin down the type and value of your set yourself. If required, our in-house numismatists will happily talk you through your coins, ensuring your involvement and understanding throughout any possible sale.
