The Premier League trophy has a solid sterling silver body, a crown made from 24-carat silver gilt, and a malachite base that represents the pitch. It was cast by Asprey London, stands 104cm tall, weighs 25.4kg, and exists in 2 identical copies.
Materials and design
| Part | Material or detail |
|---|---|
| Body | Solid sterling silver |
| Crown | 24-carat silver gilt |
| Base | Malachite, a green semi-precious stone |
| Maker | Asprey London, the Crown Jewellers |
The green malachite base is linked directly to the field of play. The shape also follows the idea of the “Three Lions of English Football”: 2 lions sit above the handles, and the captain lifting the trophy and its gold crown becomes the third.

FAQ
How heavy is the Premier League trophy?
The full trophy weighs 25.4kg. Its base alone weighs 15.9kg, so a large share of the weight sits at the bottom.
How many medals do Premier League winners get?
The champions receive 40 silver medals. Each medal is 5.7cm in diameter, and every player with at least 5 league appearances in the title season must receive one.
When is the Premier League trophy presented?
The timing depends on when the title is settled and where the ceremony is staged. If more than one club can still win on the final day, the League prepares separate trophy and medal presentations at every stadium where the title can be won. Liverpool, the 2024/25 champions, lifted it after their final home match of that season.
Do extra medals get handed out automatically?
No. Extra medals need Premier League Board consent. That approval is given only if more than 39 players qualify under the appearance rule.
