With the Queen's passing and the Ascension of the king, the Royal Mint authorized a memorial sovereign to commemorate the event. The coin features the first official portrait of King Charles III designed by Martin Jennings. The effigy follows a long-standing tradition, with the King facing left, opposite his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. In honor of the late Queen, the coin was struck with a new design on the reverse by Jody Clark. His design is similar to Timothy Noad's Royal Arms designed for the Platinum Jubilee Sovereign. The main difference, rather than St. Edward's crown, it features the Tudor Crown. Heraldic symbols and motifs make it easily distinguishable from Noads. Gold Sovereigns from ABS bullion are direct from the Royal Mint. The featured 2022 gold Sovereign Memorial proof coin is absolutely stunning. Mintage was set at 21,500 coins.
