The History of the Gold Sovereign

The modern Sovereign was introduced in 1817 following Britain's Great Recoinage and quickly became the foundation of Britain's gold standard. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Sovereigns circulated across the British Empire and were accepted globally. Many feature Benedetto Pistrucci's iconic St George and the Dragon reverse, first introduced in 1817 and widely regarded as one of the greatest coin designs ever created.
