2026 Gold Proof Full Sovereign Charles III Reverse Frosted Coin
Charles III Obverse Portrait
The obverse of this 2026 coin carries Martin Jennings' refined, uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, introduced in 2022. The surrounding Latin inscription reads 'CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·'.
Historic Saint George Reverse
On the reverse, Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless 19th-century engraving of Saint George slaying the dragon is displayed as you have never seen it before, with the central design seen in brilliant relief against a frosted backdrop. The date (2026) and the artist's initials appear below.
First Reverse Frosted Sovereign
These coins are struck to the standard specification in 7.98 grams of 22-carat yellow gold, replacing the red gold used in recent years. This 2026 issue is distinguished by the reverse frosted strike: the first time such an effect has been used on a coin in the Sovereign series.
Low Mintage 2026 Proof Sovereign
The 2026 reverse frosted Sovereign is part of a limited edition presentation of 3,000 coins, issued alongside the standard 2026 proof Sovereign. These are some of the lowest-mintage Sovereigns of the modern era, guaranteeing their place as future collectables.
