British Sovereign Gold Coins

Description

The worldwide popularity of the British gold sovereign coins is in large part attributable to their longevity with the same minting standards. Sovereigns minted since 1817 have been produced according to the coin act of 1816, with weight of 7.988 gm. of 22 karat (91.67% pure) gold (net weight .2354 troy oz. of pure gold). The reigning king or queen is featured on the obverse, and a portrayal of Saint George killing a dragon, engraved by Benedetto Pistrucci, is pictured on the reverse.
