2023 Coronation Quarter Sovereign

The 2023 Coronation Quarter Sovereign returns to the classic George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci found on the modern Sovereign since 1817. The 2023 Quarter Sovereign coin is a special release to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. As such it features a unique crowned version of the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, with the Monarch wearing the Tudor Crown.

The Tudor Crown was the imperial and state crown of English monarchs from the time of Henry VIII until it was destroyed in 1649. Since that time it has been used in insignia as a symbol of The Crown and the British Monarchy. It also appears on King Charles' personal Cypher and the design was personally chosen by the king. We expect this to be the only time bullion Quarter Sovereigns are issued with a crowned version of the portrait making them a very collectible coin.

Like all 1/4 Sovereigns the coin is struck in 22 carat gold and contain 1.83 grams of pure gold.
