Product Description
The 2025 Gold Sovereign is the UK's flagship bullion coin and a globally recognised symbol of trust, tradition, and prestige. Minted in 22-carat gold (91.67% purity) and weighing 7.98 grams, it contains 7.32 grams of pure gold.
This year's coin features the classic reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci – St George slaying the dragon - a motif that has symbolised the Sovereign since 1817. The obverse bears the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, continuing the Royal Mint's long-standing tradition of depicting reigning monarchs.
What makes the 2025 UK's 'Last of the Rose Gold' Full Sovereign Gold Coin truly exceptional is its status as the final Sovereign to use the copper-rich alloy that gives it its rose-coloured appearance. From 2026 onward, the alloy will revert to a more traditional yellow gold tone, making the 2025 edition the last of its kind.
This Sovereign is a bullion-grade coin, struck to The Royal Mint's exacting standards and ideal for those seeking a blend of heritage, collectability, and intrinsic value.

Product Specification
Denomination Information
The Gold Sovereign's legacy extends back more than 500 years to its first striking under King Henry VII in 1489. Its modern form, introduced in 1817 under George III, features Pistrucci's timeless St George and the Dragon design, an enduring symbol of British numismatic artistry.
Used as currency throughout the British Empire, the Sovereign has transitioned from a circulating coin to a highly respected investment piece. Today, it remains The Royal Mint's flagship gold coin, admired for its heritage, stability, and international reputation.
The 2025 edition is particularly significant as the final Sovereign minted in the distinctive rose gold hue that has characterised Sovereigns since 2000 - a poignant end to a 25-year design era.
