The 2025 Quarter Sovereign offers a compact and accessible way to own a piece of British numismatic heritage. Struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold (91.67% purity), this fractional sovereign contains 1.997g of fine gold and maintains the same timeless design and specifications that have made sovereigns a cornerstone of precious metal investment for over two centuries. With its smaller denomination, the quarter sovereign provides added flexibility for investors and collectors seeking portability, divisibility, and prestige in physical gold.
The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, continuing the Royal Mint’s tradition of reflecting the reigning monarch. The reverse is expected to display the classic St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci—a powerful symbol of courage, heritage, and craftsmanship.
