2024 Gold Sovereign Coin Design
The 2024 Gold Sovereign Coins seamlessly blend tradition and modernity. Featuring the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse, these coins offer a regal touch while preserving the classic St George and the Dragon motif.
St George and the Dragon
At the heart of Sovereign coins is the timeless St George and the Dragon design, a masterpiece by Benedetto Pistrucci dating back to 1817. This design, synonymous with Sovereign coins, captures the beauty of gold and symbolises integrity and strength. Its enduring craftsmanship makes the Sovereign a prized collectable and a global investment favourite.
Historical Significance
Originating in 1489 under the commission of King Henry VII, the Sovereign has undergone transformations, with the modern Gold Sovereign making its debut in 1817, replacing the Guinea. With a face value of £1 Sterling, it swiftly became legal tender in the United Kingdom, securing its place in numismatics and investment.
