| Additional information |
The quintuple sovereign has existed in British coinage since Henry VIII, though it has appeared sporadically — issued more as a demonstration of the mint's technical capability than as a coin intended for any practical monetary role. The 2024 issue is among the first five-sovereign pieces to bear Charles III's effigy, following his accession in September 2022 after the longest wait for the throne in British history.
