Old British Gold Coins
The most popular old British gold coin is the British Gold Sovereign. These coins were first issued in 1817 when King George III was ruling. They were originally called English Sovereign Gold Coins and can be traced back to the early 1600s but were brought back during the Great Recoinage of 1816.
These coins are available as Sovereign, Half-Sovereign, and Double-Sovereign. Originally circulation coins, they became out of circulation by World War I.
The reverse of these coins displays a unique image depending on the year of issue. Most coins feature the iconic image of St. George slaying a dragon by Benedetto Pistrucci. However, during Queen Victoria’s reign, the Royal Arms was seen on the reverse. The obverse design features the portrait of the reigning British monarch which over the years has featured the following:
- King George III
- King George IV
- Queen Victoria
- King Edward VII
- King George V
- King Edward VIII
- King George VI
- Queen Elizabeth II
- King Charles III
Old French Gold Coins
The most well-known vintage French coin is the French Franc. The franc was the official currency of France from 1795 to 1999. Coins featured an array of design elements over the years. Two designs you’ll find at BGASC are the Lucky Angel design (issued from 1848-1898) and the Rooster design (issued from 1899-1914), both featured in the 20 Franc Gold Coin.

However, a common design element you’ll see when looking at Austrian gold coins at BGASC is Emperor Franz Joseph I.
