2026 Gold Quarter Sovereign Coin
The 2026 Gold Quarter Sovereign marks a return to the classic yellow-gold alloy traditionally associated with the Sovereign range. Struck by The Royal Mint in 22 carat gold, this compact coin blends historic design with the most advanced security features ever applied to the series.
The quarter Sovereigns are a great option for investors seeking high divisibility gold coins to provide greater flexibility than it’s larger Half and Full Sovereign versions.
Containing 1.997 g of 22 carat gold, the 2026 edition features the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, enhanced by a latent image that displays the Tudor Crown, royal cypher or Tudor Rose depending on the light. The reverse showcases Pistrucci’s St George and the dragon, framed by micro-text and a fine half-tone pattern for added protection against counterfeiting.
Small, flexible and highly collectable, the Quarter Sovereign offers an accessible way to own investment-grade gold. As UK legal tender, it is VAT-free and CGT-exempt, making it an efficient choice for both new and experienced investors.
At Physical Gold, all 2026 Quarter Sovereigns are supplied brand new from The Royal Mint, with fully insured and discreet UK delivery, competitive pricing, and expert support from a BNTA-accredited dealer.
Supplied loose, in tubes of 25, or monster boxes of 500.
