British Sovereign Kings
One gold coin has the distinction of being the most recognized and respected medium of exchange for over 500 years.
That coin is the British Gold Sovereign, the official coinage honoring English Royalty.
Most Important Gold Coin in History
Since they were first minted to honor Henry VII in 1489, Sovereigns have been
the cornerstone of the Tudor Dynasty. British Sovereigns have a long, proud
history. After the Napoleonic Wars, Britain returned to the gold standard in 1817
and reintroduced the Sovereign. Each contained .2354 troy ounces of gold and was minted in 22 karat gold (.917 fine).
Minted at Seven British Royal Mints
Each British Sovereign features the bust of the reigning King or Queen and the mythical "Saint George slaying the dragon" design by Benetto Pistrucci. Shown above is the King George Design. Naturally, because each coin was approved
by the Monarch, great attention to detail in the design and minting was employed
by all seven Royal Mints.
