The Royal Mint first issued the quarter sovereign in 2009, making it the newest and smallest coin in the sovereign family. At 13.5mm across, it's smaller than a 5p coin.
Coins are picked at random from our stock. You'll get a quarter sovereign dated from 2009 onwards, showing either Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III.
We can't take requests for a particular date, monarch or design. If you buy more than one, you may receive a mix of dates or several of the same year.
These are pre-owned coins, priced on their gold content rather than their looks. Some may show light marks or signs of handling, but none of this affects the gold inside.
Its small size makes it an affordable way to start buying gold, a thoughtful gift, or an easy way to add to your gold a little at a time. It also lets you sell a small amount of gold without parting with a larger coin.
Your quarter sovereign is sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured and tracked. If it's in stock, orders placed before 1pm on a weekday usually go out the same day.
Our stock of pre-owned coins changes often, but every coin we send has been tested and checked by our team first.

The modern sovereign has been made since 1817 and is one of the best-known gold coins in the world. For most of its history it came in two main sizes, the full and the half sovereign.
In 2009, The Royal Mint added the quarter sovereign, with a face value of 25p. It's struck in the same 22 carat gold as the larger coins and holds exactly a quarter of a full sovereign's gold.
