About this coin
Issued to commemorate the 75th birthday of His Majesty King Charles III, this exceptional 2023 Gold Sovereign was struck on 14 November 2023, the King's birthday, making it one of the most significant early Sovereign releases of the new reign. Carrying the prestigious Struck on the Day (SOTD) designation, each coin was produced exclusively on this historic date, adding an extra level of rarity and collectability.
The obverse features the first definitive coinage portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, while the reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci's iconic depiction of Saint George slaying the dragon. Finished in an elegant matte finish, the coin displays a distinctive satin appearance that beautifully enhances the intricate detail of one of Britain's most celebrated coin designs.
With a limited mintage of just 860 coins, this Sovereign ranks among the rarest modern issues of the King Charles III era. Combining an important royal milestone, the exclusive Struck on the Day designation and the highest possible grade, it represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors of modern British gold Sovereigns.
