The 2024 Gold Sovereign Coin is struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold as part of the British Sovereign family. This flagship full Sovereign denomination has 0.257 troy oz gross weight and around 0.2352 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 2024 coin is part of the early King Charles III era, an important transition period for modern British gold coinage, which helps place it within the changing portrait and design history of modern Royal Mint gold coinage.
The 2024 issue is one of the early regular-dated King Charles III Sovereign family releases, making it useful for collectors building the first date runs of the new reign.
