1937 Gold Sovereigns
1937 gold sovereigns were only issued as proofs as part of a four coin set. It is the most popular coin of the set, and sells for a disproportionate price compared with the complete set or any of the other three coins.

Sorry to tell you this if that is what you were looking for, but at least now you can stop looking, and think about an alternative, unless you wish to pay the market price for a high demand coin.

1937 Gold Sovereigns Were Only Issued In Proof Sets

Not every date exists for gold sovereigns. In fact gold sovereigns were not issued for circulation after 1932, although the Royal Mint resumed production in 1957 partly to meet world demand for gold bullion coins.
The only dates minted during this period were 1937 which were only issued as part of a four coin set, and is quite expensive, and 1953 for Elizabeth II, and these were not issued even for collectors.
Because of this, we do not normally hold any 1937 sovereigns in stock.

Why This Page?
You might, then, think it strange that we should publish a page specifically about a coin we do not have, but there is good reason for this. Several times each week we receive telephone calls asking for...
...a 1937 sovereign. We explain that we cannot supply one from stock, and that it will be relatively expensive. For coin collectors, of course it is the only George VI gold sovereign issued, so there is no alternative, but for others there are other possibilities.
That's why we have taken this unusual step of answering the question before it even gets asked. If you found this page because you were looking for a 1937 sovereign, then we have just given you the answer you need.
Naturally whenever we do obtain one, we will list it here.

What's the Alternative?
If you are a gold sovereign collector, there is no alternative, however if like many of our customers you are looking for an unusual gift, we do have a few suggestions:-

An 1837 sovereign. It's a William IV, so quite scarce, we can't be sure of always having one in stock, but we can try.

We have 1937 coin sets in stock. Prices vary according to condition.

We could try to locate a different gold coin for you, but we tend not to keep them in stock. Krugerrands did not appear until 1967.
