It's also the last of its kind, with The Royal Mint confirming that future releases will be struck in 22-carat yellow-gold rather than the rose gold used in recent years.

Obverse Portrait Of King Charles III

The obverse of 2025 gold bullion Sovereigns features Martin Jennings' definitive coinage portrait of Charles III, which shows the King uncrowned and facing left. The inscription reads 'CHARLES III ∙ DEI ∙ GRA ∙ REX ∙ FID ∙ DEF ∙' and the artist's initials are shown below the bust.

Classic Saint George Reverse Design

Benedetto Pistrucci's classic Saint George and the dragon design features on the reverse of these 2025 coins. Originally seen on the 1817 Sovereign, this engraving has been a perennial presence on these iconic gold coins down the centuries.

2025 Coin Struck In 22-Carat Gold

These bullion coins are struck to a historic specification in 7.98 grams of 22-carat (91.67% pure) gold. That equates to an actual gold content of 7.31 grams or 0.2354 troy ounces. This edition boasts The Royal Mint's bullion standard finish.

The Last Rose-Gold Sovereign

2025 is the final year that gold Sovereigns will be minted with a red hue, sometimes called rose gold. 2026 will see the return of the yellow-gold colour that typifies historic gold Sovereigns.

VAT And Capital Gains Tax Exempt

Our pre-owned UK gold Sovereigns are Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt because they are British legal tender. This means you can sell them at a profit without having to pay CGT. These coins are also VAT-free as they are considered investment gold, offering an additional benefit to buyers.
