| Reverse description | Couped bust of King George VI facing left, rendered in a classical portrait style reminiscent of the sovereign coinage of his reign. The Latin legend GEORGIUS VI • DEI GRATIA REX arcs above the effigy. Below the portrait, a decorative oak wreath frames a crown, evoking the traditional iconography of British gold sovereign reverses and paying homage to the numismatic heritage of the George VI era. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar sovereigns occupy a specific niche in the British sovereign series — legally distinct from Royal Mint issues, they are struck under Gibraltarian authority and have been produced by the Pobjoy Mint and later the British Royal Mint's commercial arm. This 2025 Charles III piece carries a George VI reverse, a deliberate archaism referencing the Benedetto Pistrucci St. George design lineage that George VI's reign helped standardize for modern sovereign production after the type was revived in 1937 following the abdication crisis.
