The Royal Mint of England has issued Great Britain Sovereigns since 1817. Initially used as circulation currency throughout the British Empire, the coins have been issued as bullion specimens as of the late 20th century. The last coin offered in this series was the 1/4 Sovereign Gold Coin introduced in 2009. Provident Metals now has Great Britain 1/4 Sovereign Gold Coins available to you for purchase online.
Highlights:
When you purchase one of these Great Britain 1/4 Sovereign Gold Coins online at Provident Metals, you will receive coins that are in individual protective flips. The coins in this listing come with the potential for various dates that stretch from 2009 to the present. Please note that we select coins for you at random after your payment clears, so we are unable to guarantee a specific date and obverse design in advance.
Obverse
In the obverse design of Great Britain Sovereign Gold Coins, the Royal Mint offers an image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown on this side in right-profile relief, regardless of the date. The coins issued from 2009 to 2015 have a right-profile effigy of the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Coins released from 2016 to the present have a depiction of the Queen with the George IV State Diadem Crown. Inscriptions are the same regardless of date, with ELIZABETH II and DEI GRA REGINA FID DEF on all coins. Coins issued since 2023 feature King Charles III in left-profile relief.
Reverse
For the reverse face of Great Britain 1/4 Sovereign Coins, the mint depicts the 1817 image of St. George slaying a dragon. This design field offers the image of St. George in right-profile relief as he rides his mighty steed in trampling a dragon. As he does so, he slays the beast with a spear. Inscriptions on this field are limited to the date mark, which is set beneath the design element.
History
While the Sovereign, Half Sovereign, and Double Sovereign were introduced in the early 19th century, the first Quarter Sovereign was issued in 2009 and is typically offered as a bullion coin. Select years have seen proof versions issued as well.
