The 2025 gold Sovereign coin from The Royal Mint. The 2025 Sovereign features the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings, and the classic George and Dragon design by Pistrucci.
Like all Sovereigns, the 2025 gold Sovereign coin is struck in 22-carat gold with the remaining metal being made up of both silver and copper. Historically, sovereigns included a greater amount of silver giving them a lighter colour but since the year 2000 the Royal Mint incorporated more copper into the alloy giving modern sovereigns their distinctive pinkish or rose colour. The 2025 edition will be the last year that this classic coin is issued in its unique rose gold finish, marking the close of an era.
2025 sovereigns weigh 7.98 grams, with a pure gold content of 7.32 grams, they are both VAT-free and exempt from Capital Gains Tax, making them an excellent choice for investors.
