One of the most popular gold bullion coins from the Royal Mint of England is one that actually has roots as a circulating gold coin. The Gold Great Britain Sovereign was first issued in 1817 as a form of circulating currency in England that bore a nominal face value of 1 Pound sterling. The coins are issued today only as bullion and proof versions, with the Quarter Sovereign representing the latest addition to the series. Today, Gold Great Britain 1/4 Sovereign Coins are available online at Silver.com.

Modern Gold Sovereign coins from the Royal Mint of England can trace their roots back to two different circulating gold coins. The most direct connection for the modern sovereign is the Gold Sovereign issued in 1817 following the Great Recoinage of 1816. King George III’s reign saw the introduction of the 7.98805 Gram Gold Sovereigns with a 1 Pound sterling face value as a replacement for the existing 21-shilling coins.

All of these Gold Great Britain 1/4 Sovereign Coins are available to you with a protective plastic flip. The Quarter Sovereign was introduced by the Royal Mint of England in January 2009 and is available only as a bullion coin not issued for circulation purposes. With a weight of 2 Grams and a diameter of just 13.5 mm, the Gold Quarter Sovereign is England’s smallest legal tender gold coin in modern history.

On the obverse side of all Gold Great Britain 1/4 Sovereign Coins is the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty has featured on all Gold Sovereign coins since 1952 and only her fourth-generation and fifth-generation effigies are available on the Quarter Sovereigns. The former appeared on the coins from 2009 to 2015, while the latter is on the obverse of all coins issued from 2016 to the present. Coins issued since 2023 feature King Charles III in left-profile relief.

The reverse of Gold Great Britain Quarter Sovereigns includes Benedetto Pistrucci’s depiction of St. George. The patron saint of England is depicted in right-profile relief high up on horseback as he wields a sword and uses his mount to trample a dragon.

The other coin the modern Gold Sovereign can trace its roots to it’s the English sovereign first issued in 1489 during the reign of King Henry VII. Those coins weighed 15.55 grams and were so valuable that their use in circulation was not practical. Most were issued as presentation pieces. Gold sovereigns were struck throughout the 16^th century by British monarchs, but halted by King James I in 1603.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
