The 2026 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 2026 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 2026 issue continues the modern King Charles III sequence and represents the ongoing role of the Sovereign family as a flagship Royal Mint gold range.
