Description:
This 2022 Sovereign Gold Coin features King Charles III’s first official effigy, designed by Martin Jennings. The obverse displays the left-facing profile of King Charles III, with the inscription "CHARLES III • DEI • GRA • REX • FID • DEF", meaning "Charles III, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith."
The reverse, designed by Jody Clark, showcases the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom, featuring a lion and a unicorn as supporters of the shield. The Latin motto "DIEU ET MON DROIT" translates to "God and my right," a phrase associated with the English monarchy since the 12th century.
