Obverse
The obverse of Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. The coins in this listing may show either the first-generation portrait or the second-generation portrait of the Queen. From 1952 to 1964, The Royal Mint used a portrait of Elizabeth II with a laurel wreath tiara by Mary Gillick. From 1965 to 1984, Arnold Machin’s second-generation bust of the Queen with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara was used.
Reverse
The reverse side of these coins showcases St. George on horseback slaying a dragon, a design created by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1817. This iconic design has been used on nearly all Gold Sovereigns for the past two centuries.
History
Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coins have been minted since 1817. However, during the 20th century, their production changed. Instead of being issued yearly as circulation coinage, Queen Elizabeth II’s reign saw the Gold Sovereign mainly issued as proof or bullion coins.
