In 2016, the modern Great Britain Gold Sovereign celebrated the 60th anniversary of the series. While Gold Sovereigns have been available since 1817, production of the coins briefly paused during both World War I and World War II, with circulation use of the coins ending prior to the release of the coins as bullion specimens. Right now, 2016 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2016 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coin available here comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are offered individually in plastic flips for delivery. Please note that BU condition is how the mint strikes the coins and that it is possible for minor flaws related to the production process to be present. Overall, you will find no signs of handling or use. Great Britain Gold Sovereigns have 22-karat gold content, with 91.67% gold and the balance of the alloy consisting of copper.
The 2016 issue of Great Britain Gold Sovereigns not only marks the 60th consecutive year of issue for the coins, but it also marks the release of the fifth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the coins. Her Majesty has featured on the Gold Sovereign since 1952 and this fifth-generation portrait was created for the Royal Mint in 2015.
Queen Elizabeth II features in right-profile relief on the obverse of 2016 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coins. Her Majesty is shown here at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. This design was developed for the Royal Mint in 2015 by Jody Clark, the youngest artist to create a monarch portrait for the mint.
The timeless design of St. George slaying a dragon features on the reverse side of the 2016 Great Britain Sovereign. This design was created in 1817 by Benedetto Pistrucci and has featured on most date marks over the last two centuries. In this design, St. George is shown on horseback in right-profile relief as he slays a dragon with a spear.
