About British Gold Sovereign Coins
Gold Sovereign Coins
First minted in 1817 and still produced today, the long history of gold sovereigns make them ideal for confidently adding smaller amounts of gold to your portfolio. As these coins are sold as random year items, the obverse design you receive will vary depending on the reigning British monarch at the time of mintage. The reverse has stayed the same from inception – the iconic design of Saint George and the Dragon by Benedetto Pistrucci.
