First originated in 1489, British sovereign gold coins were used as a worldwide currency during the height of Britain’s colonial rule. The last production of the original English Gold Sovereign coin was in 1604

Since 1814, all gold sovereign coins abide by the standard as follows: Per the act of 1816 (56 George III chapter 68), they must be – 7.988052 g / 7.98805 g weight after 1971 – 1.52 mm thick – 22.05 mm in diameter – 22-carat fineness – 7.322381 g or 1320/5607 troy ounces. British sovereign gold coins older than 1814 may fall below this standard due to abrasion and handling. 

While the British Gold Sovereign coins have changed over the years, their markup on a jeweler’s scale has remained roughly the same, which helps identify them. It’s also easy to determine the spot value of the sovereign gold coins at any given time. This excludes any additional value a coin may have due to rarity, age, etc.

Design of British Gold Sovereign Coins

The British Sovereign Gold Coins have changed in appearance over time. Still, the constant design on the reverse has been the effigy of St. George slaying the dragon in front of a castle (originally on Tower Hill) and holding the Queen’s royal shield. The portrait of St. George was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1817. 

The obverse of the gold sovereign coins features the portrait of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. The most popular Sovereign British Gold coin includes the portrait of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. The sovereign Great Britain gold coins struck post-1957 feature three different versions of the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The image was created by sculptor Mary Gillick, whose signature appears on the obverse and a London date mark indicating when each British Gold coin was minted.
