Sovereign coins

Just thinking ahead, which year will we first see King Charles on a sovereign? 

Additionally, I can't seem to find an answer to this on Google, but I don't believe a sovereign was struck in 1977, why was this? 

TIA

Queens silver jubilee.

Wouldn't that be a reason TO strike one? 

I had a free coin, but definitely wasn't gold 🤣🤣

Maybe the Royal Mint decided there were enough of them in the system that year and they didn't need any new ones?

There are several other years where sovereigns weren't minted, it's not just 1977 that's missing.

Thank you, I was aware there were other years missing, but my Husband had asked why I'd never bought him one as its his birth year. 
I knew they weren't available but didn't know why
