2024 UK Gold Sovereign Coins

The 2024 Sovereign coin design

After the historic design celebrating the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, the 2024 Sovereign returns to the uncrowned portrait of His Majesty, designed by British sculptor Martin Jennings.

The reverse of the 2024 coin features the iconic George and the Dragon reverse, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci; the same design that featured on the first modern sovereign in 1817.

A history of minting excellence

Gold Sovereign Coins are Britain's most famous coins, the first of which was minted in 1489 at the behest of King Henry VII. Regarded as The Royal Mint’s flagship coin, the Sovereign has been associated with the British monarchy for hundreds of years and is one of the most trusted bullion coins in the world. A triumph of numismatic art, many consider The Sovereign the ‘chief coin of the world’.

As an official partner of The Royal Mint, each brand new Sovereign coin comes direct to us from The Royal Mint in Llantrisant, South Wales.
