The reverse of each coin showcases Pistrucci\u2019s classic 1817 design, complete with the highly sought-after garter inscription surrounding the artwork. Bearing the phrase \u201cHoni soit quimal y pense\u201d \u2014 translated as \u201cShame be to him who thinks evil of it\u201d \u2014the inscription represents the motto of the Order of the Garter, the highest order of chivalry in the United Kingdom. Significantly, this garter detail had not appeared on sovereigns since 1820, making its return especially meaningful for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
\nThe obverse features the fifth definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark. Notably, the date appears on the obverse for the first time since 1887, adding another unique historical element to the collection. With a limited edition presentation of just 750 five-coin sets worldwide, this release stands as a fitting tribute to 200 years of Sovereign history and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Brief insight into your collection<\/p>\n
The 200th Anniversary of the Modern Sovereign Collection celebrates two centuries of one of the most iconic and recognisable coins in British numismatic history. Originally introduced in 1817 during the reign of King George III, the modern sovereign quickly became a symbol of British craftsmanship, heritage, and prestige. To commemorate this historic milestone, The Royal Mint released this special collection featuring a remastered interpretation of Benedetto Pistrucci\u2019s celebrated St George and the Dragon design.<\/p>\n
