A new era for British Sovereigns began with the release of the Memorial Sovereign which was the first to feature King Charles III. He then appeared on another special year design which featured a crowned effigy in 2023, this is known as the Coronation Sovereign. The 2024 coin then featured the King in a natural uncrowned pose which is now the standard portrait for Charles III
King Charles III Sovereigns were introduced in all available sizes from quarters through to quintuples with proof finishes and piedfort also made available. This is at odds with Queen Elizabeth’s first Sovereigns which were only struck as a bullion full sovereign in 1957. Perhaps this is a sign that the Gold Sovereign market has become more popular in the most recent generation
