Its history

English gold Sovereigns are prestigious investment coins, struck since George III (1760-1820). Each reign brings a new bust, with historical figures such as George IV, William IV and the famous Queen Victoria. Thanks to the exceptional length of her reign, four versions of Queen Victoria are available, some of which are highly sought after by collectors.

The reverse of gold Sovereigns, designed in 1817 by Benedetto Pistrucci, depicts Saint George slaying the dragon, a timeless symbol of power and victory.

Elizabeth II gold Sovereigns, while sharing the same characteristics (weight, size, purity), have a separate price quotation owing to their growing popularity.

Investing in a gold Sovereign means choosing a coin with a rich history and assured value. These coins are recognised worldwide for their liquidity, making them a safe and attractive investment for diversifying your portfolio.
