The 2021 Gold Quarter Sovereign Coin is struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold as part of the British Sovereign family. This smallest modern Sovereign denomination has 0.064 troy oz gross weight and around 0.0589 troy oz of fine gold, giving it a clear place within the wider Quarter, Half, Full, Double and Five-Sovereign range.
The obverse carries the monarch portrait used for the year of issue, while the reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the dragon reverse. The 2021 coin is issued during the Jody Clark portrait era of Queen Elizabeth II, covering several major royal milestone years, which helps place it within the changing portrait and design history of modern Royal Mint gold coinage.
The 2021 issue carries a 95 privy mark celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's 95th birthday, adding a distinctive royal milestone detail to the standard Sovereign format.
