Quarter Sovereigns

Explore our range of Quarter Sovereign coins , the smallest and most accessible denomination in Britain’s iconic Sovereign gold coin series. Struck in 22-carat gold by The Royal Mint, the Quarter Sovereign offers a highly affordable way to own historic British gold while still benefiting from the prestige, design, and global recognition of the Sovereign family.

First introduced as a pattern issue in the mid-19th century and officially revived for modern production in 2009, the Quarter Sovereign is the newest addition to the Sovereign range. It has quickly become popular with collectors and investors looking for fractional gold in a compact, highly tradable format.

Each Quarter Sovereign contains approximately 1.83 grams of fine gold within a 1.99-gram coin, struck in 22-carat gold for durability and a distinctive warm finish. This makes it the lightest and most affordable way to invest in the Sovereign series while still owning a coin backed by centuries of Royal Mint tradition.

Most Quarter Sovereigns feature Benedetto Pistrucci’s legendary St George and the Dragon reverse design, one of the most celebrated images in world numismatics. The obverse carries the official portrait of the reigning monarch, with modern issues featuring Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III depending on the year of issue.

Quarter Sovereign coins are highly sought after for their:

• Lowest entry point into Sovereign gold ownership
• Strong global recognition and liquidity
• 22-carat Royal Mint gold standard
• Compact size and easy collectability
• Eligibility for UK bullion tax advantages (where applicable)

Collectors often use Quarter Sovereigns to complete full Sovereign sets, build fractional gold portfolios, or focus on specific monarchs and years. They are also popular as gifts due to their size and connection to British heritage.
