The British Sovereign has been minted since 1817 following the Great Recoinage and contains 0.2354 ounces of 22-karat gold, featuring the iconic St. George slaying the dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci. During the height of the British Empire, Sovereigns were minted across the Commonwealth in London, Australia, Canada, India, and South Africa, making them the world’s most widely recognized gold coin. The coin served as the backbone of international trade during the 19th and early 20th centuries when Britain dominated global commerce. Its royal heritage, worldwide recognition, and two-century minting history make it one of the most prestigious and liquid gold coins available to investors.
