Great Britain Gold Sovereigns were introduced as circulation pieces in 1817. The coins were primarily available as the Gold Sovereign and Half Sovereign, while a Double Sovereign was also produced.

The obverse of Great Britain 1/2 Gold Sovereign Coins features the bust of a British monarch. King George III was the first monarch to feature on Great Britain Gold Sovereigns, while Queen Elizabeth II is the most recent monarch to feature on Gold Sovereigns. However, the monarchs of the 19th and early-20th centuries featured on coins that were issued in circulation, while most of the coins issued during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign are bullion specimens released as of 1980.

On the reverse of British 1/2 Gold Sovereigns is the image of St. George slaying the dragon. Created in 1817 by Benedetto Pistrucci, this design has featured on most of the date marks throughout the series, with the exception being some of the coins issued early in the reign of Queen Victoria. Those coins featured the Royal Arms instead.
