Following the end of the rose gold era of The Sovereign in 2025, 2026 saw a return to tradition with a range of yellow gold bullion coins. In 2027, Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic portrayal of St George and the dragon once again graces the coin’s reverse.

Renowned for its reliability and accuracy, The Sovereign’s weight is guaranteed to five decimal places, making it the most tightly specified coin in the world. This 2027 bullion coin is also the most secure yet, as both sides have been embellished with unique security features.
