Product Description
First introduced in the early 19th century, the modern Great Britain Gold Sovereign series remains one of the Royal Mints best-known gold coin collections.

Today, Great Britain Gold 1/4 Sovereign Coins are available from BGASC.

Each Great Britain Gold 1/4 Sovereign Coin offered here comes packaged in a protective plastic flip. The Royal Mint officially introduced the Quarter Sovereign in January 2009 as the smallest modern legal tender coin struck in Britain. While the Sovereign and Half Sovereign have historical ties to circulating British gold currency, the Quarter Sovereign has only been released as a collectible bullion issue and has never circulated in commerce.
Obverse
The obverse of Great Britain Gold 1/4 Sovereign Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. Since the Quarter Sovereign debuted in 2009, the series has showcased two different official portraits of Her Majesty. Coins issued between 2009 and 2015 display Ian Rank-Broadleys fourth-generation effigy of the Queen. Beginning in 2016, the Royal Mint introduced Jody Clarks fifth-generation portrait, showing Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief wearing the Royal Diadem crown. Coins issued since 2023 feature King Charles III in left-profile relief.
Reverse
On the reverse of Great Britain Quarter Sovereign Gold Coins is the familiar image of St. George defeating a dragon. This artwork is based on the original 1817 design from Benedetto Pistrucci, created with approval from King George III. The design depicts St. George mounted on horseback with a drawn sword as he rides over the dragon beneath him.
History
The Royal Mint strikes Great Britain Gold 1/4 Sovereign coins using 22-karat gold with a purity of .9170 fine gold. Although the coins are recognized as legal tender in Britain, the Quarter Sovereign is issued strictly as a commemorative bullion coin rather than a piece intended for circulation.
