2026 Sovereign Coins

Explore our collection of 2026 Sovereign Coins, celebrating another chapter in the story of Britain’s most iconic gold coin. Issued by The Royal Mint, the 2026 Sovereign range combines centuries of tradition with modern minting innovation and marks several significant milestones in the coin’s long history.

A Landmark Year for the Sovereign

The 2026 issue is especially notable for the return to the traditional yellow 22-carat gold alloy after the “rose gold” appearance used on recent editions. The year also commemorates 500 years since the adoption of the 22-carat gold standard introduced during the reign of King Henry VIII, a standard that continues to define the Sovereign today.

The Classic St George and the Dragon

The reverse of the 2026 Sovereign once again features Benedetto Pistrucci’s celebrated depiction of St George slaying the dragon, one of the most famous designs in numismatic history. Its inclusion is particularly fitting, as 2026 also marks 500 years since St George first appeared on English coinage.

• Sovereign
