3 Coin Sovereign Box Set

£3,205.00

A brief insight into your collectible

The sovereign is one of the world’s best-known gold coins. In its modern form, it was first struck in 1817 during the reign of King George III, taking its name from a handsome 20-shilling gold coin introduced by King Henry VII in 1489. The reverse depicts the classic portrayal by Benedetto Pistrucci of St. George on horseback, slaying the dragon — a design that first appeared on the sovereigns of George III and has featured on all sovereigns since 1817. The obverse portrays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, based on the renowned Arnold Machin portrait that has been used on most UK coins since
1968.
