Gold Sovereign Coin (Best Value – Mixed Years)
The Sovereign has been struck, on and off, since 1817, and Pistrucci's St George has ridden across the reverse for most of that time. Seven and a third grams of fine gold in twenty-two carat, in a coin small enough to close your hand around. It remains the most tradeable gold coin in Britain.
How this listing is supplied. A best-value listing across mixed years: the coin comes from current stock and its date, monarch and mintmark will vary with what is on the shelf. It cannot be chosen, and it may be a modern issue or an older circulated one. The photograph shows a Sovereign, not the individual coin you will receive.
If a particular reign, date or standard of preservation matters to you, ask before ordering — or choose one of the listings that specifies a reign.
