Featuring a timeless design, Gold Sovereigns have been used in British currency ever since King Henry VII instructed The Royal Mint to produce a new currency in 1489.

There have been Sovereigns in circulation since 1489. The Half Sovereign was first produced in 1544 during King Henry VIII reign. The modern Sovereign Gold coin was first issued in 1817 when the sovereign replaced the Guinea. It became legal tender in the United Kingdom with a face value of £1 Sterling.

The ‘Saint George and the Dragon’ design inspires integrity and strength. Gold Sovereigns are traded, respected and admired all over the world. They have been an integral part of UK coin design for many centuries.
