The British Sovereign
The British Sovereign Gold Bullion Coin
First introduced in 1816 at the height of the British
Empire, the British Sovereign gold bullion coin has become the most widely distributed
gold coin in the world and also one of the most highly regarded.
The nickel-sized piece’s
name, “sovereign,” was
inspired by the coin’s
impressive size and regal portraiture, the earliest of which boasted the forward-facing
king seated in his throne, while the royal
coat of arms, resplendent with shield and Tudor double
rose, adorned the reverse.
The utmost care and detail were
employed during the design and minting process by the British Royal Mint,
to garner the reigning monarch’s
seal of approval. Recognized worldwide, the renowned coin features the bust
of the currently reigning king or queen, while
the reverse portrays Benedetto
Pistrucci’s design of the mythical Saint George
slaying the dragon. The British Sovereign’s
utility and immediate liquidity made it a must-have
for military heroes such as World War II Allied forces pilots, who carried
the coins in their survival kits, as well as American
pilots in Desert Storm, who carried them as
their emergency money in case they were downed in Iraqi territory. The privacy,
portability, and instant liquidity worldwide of genuine gold sovereigns enhance
the current value of this 22-karat
legendary coin.
