Design of the 2022 Memorial Gold Sovereign Coin
The Memorial gold sovereign is the first of its kind to feature a portrait image of His Majesty King Charles III. The coin features King Charles III on the front of the coin, with the words Charles III on the side. In the portrait, His Majesty is looking to the left. The reverse of the coin features the Royal Crest of the United Kingdom - the center of the coin features a shield, with the Lion of England on the left side, and the Unicorn of Scotland on the right. Beneath the words 'Dieu et mon droit' are inscribed. At the very bottom of the coin is its year of minting - 2022. 
 
These coins were released with a year of 2022 to both honour the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, while looking forward to the reign of King Charles III. These coins are 7.3 grams, and come in a slip. 
 
The British gold Sovereign is unique in that it does not have a legal tender value imprinted on it. This is because its value was equivalent to 1 Pound at the time the coin was released. The coin's design has essentially remained the same since its release in 1817, with special edition coins released every so often. 
 
History of the Gold Sovereign

The British Sovereign coin, known for its gold bullion content, was widely used as standard currency in the British Empire from 1817 to 1932. Its global recognition as a store of value made it a popular choice for trade at ports around the world, including India, Australia, and Canada.

Today, the British Sovereign serves more as a collectible and investment piece, still backed by the United Kingdom. It comes in several sizes, including the full Sovereign, half Sovereign, quarter Sovereign, and double Sovereign, all crafted solely in gold. The full Sovereign size is the most sought after.

The Royal Mint, responsible for producing official UK coinage, also mints the British Sovereign and other bullion coins with legal tender value. The British Britannia series, offered in gold, silver, and platinum, is among the Mint's other bullion offerings, as well as various special edition coins.

Gold Sovereigns are a popular choice among European, particularly UK-based, gold investors, as they are exempt from Capital Gains Tax on profits. They are widely recognized in Commonwealth nations. Many investors looking to accumulate a precious metals portfolio buy gold Sovereigns in regular increments.
