The 2011 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 2011 coin is issued during the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait era, a period that includes several important modern reverse changes, which helps place it within the changing portrait and design history of modern Royal Mint gold coinage.
Collectors follow the 2011 Quarter Sovereign for its place in the annual Sovereign family date run, with condition, availability, packaging and any issue-specific details influencing collector interest beyond the coin's intrinsic gold value.
