Quarter Sovereign Gold Coins
| Explore our range of Quarter Sovereign Gold Coins, featuring one of the smallest and most popular denominations in The Royal Mint’s modern Sovereign series. First introduced in 2009 as part of the modern bullion and proof Sovereign family, Quarter Sovereigns combine the heritage of the classic British gold Sovereign with a more accessible fractional size ideal for both collectors and investors.
Struck in 22-carat gold (.9167 fine), Quarter Sovereigns contain 1.83 grams of fine gold with a total weight of 1.99 grams. Most issues feature Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon reverse design alongside the official portrait of the reigning monarch, including Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III. Selected years also include special commemorative reverse designs marking important royal anniversaries and historic events. This category includes a wide range of Quarter Sovereign gold coins, including:
Quarter Sovereigns are struck in both bullion and proof formats. Bullion issues are produced to Brilliant Uncirculated standard for investment purposes, while proof editions are struck using specially prepared dies and polished blanks to achieve exceptional detail and mirror-like finishes. Many proof examples are issued in limited mintages and supplied in official Royal Mint packaging with certificates of authenticity. Due to their smaller size and lower gold content compared with Full and Half Sovereigns, Quarter Sovereigns are especially popular among collectors seeking affordable entry points into modern British gold coinage. Their legal tender status also makes them exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents.
