The Royal Mint in London is one of the oldest operational facilities in the world. Minting coins for the United Kingdom for over a thousand years, it is the mint of origin for some of the finest coins still in existence today. For investors and collectors looking for truly unique coins, Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coins are now available through JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Great Britain’s gold coins were one of the first to be used in multiple corners of the world as the British Empire spread across the planet. The original English gold sovereign was last minted in 1604, and were so named because they featured images of the sovereign leader of the British Empire.
Modern Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coins went back into production in 1817 following passage of the Great Recoinage of 1816. These sovereign coins were minted annually for 100 years, before long running breaks saw it produced only once between 1917 and 1957. That one-year production came in 1925. The coins went back into regular production in 1957 and are still struck to this day as BU and proof specimens by The Royal Mint.
Great Britian Gold Sovereign coins all feature the same reverse image; that of St. George mounted on horseback as he does battle with a dragon. The image was designed back in 1817 by Benedetto Pistrucci, and includes the year of minting.
The obverse side of each gold sovereign always features a profile depiction of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. Older coins feature profiles of Queen Victoria at three points during her long reign, as well as images of King Edward VII and King George V. All Great Britain Gold Sovereign coins struck following 1957 feature Queen Elizabeth II, with three versions of her right-profile portrait included.
On the whole, most of these coins were produced by the Royal Mint, in London. However, at certain points in time these coins were also struck at mints in Australia, Canada, and South Africa. Today, some coins are even minted by MMTC-PAMP in Delhi, India. Please keep in mind that we do not guarantee a specific specimen in this listing. You will receive a Great Britain Gold Sovereign, but we cannot hand-pick certain designs, guarantee specific conditions, or select a BU or proof specimen. All coins are chosen at random once your order has been processed.

"I was shipped a pristine 1982 Queen Elizabeth and an 1879 Vicky in very nice condition. Totally happy with my purchase."
"I received a 1912 George in great condition! SO Very Happy. Hope to get another George on my second purchase soon! Thank you JM!"
"Understand a few things first. These are not pristine beautiful collector coins suitable for slabbing. These are common date circulated coins with no numismatic value, they are only worth the metal content, just like junk silver, but nobody calls coins junk gold. These coins are for stackers, not collectors. Stackers care about only 2 things, metal content and low premium, which these coins deliver. I calculated a 4.7% premium, better than comparable 1/4 oz fractional gold, granted sovereigns are a little smaller. I bought 2 so far, will buy more, I got an 1880 Victoria, probably XF, has some wear in her hair. I got a 1909 Edward VII, probably F, he looks like a cue ball with an ear and eye, the little hair Edward had is gone. I got what I paid for. These coins satisfy a stacker's requirements, metal content and low premium, pretty is irrelevant."
"Got a Vicky!"
"Fast shipping, good prices"
"Order was filled quickly and 4 Sovereigns of various years were all in very good condition. "
"I received a 1918 Sovereign, in good condition. It's my favorite coin, thus far. I hope to receive late 1800 and additional early 1900 coins on future orders. Thank you!"
"I was doing well on first two or three orders then the last two (10 Pieces each) were all EVII many 1902 and 1910. I really want to see more variety. Alex"
"Received a nicely uncirculated early 1900s specimen, still with some mint luster. Beautiful coin at a sale price. Thanks!"
"These are usually in no worse than XF condition, most have arrived in something close to AU. My last batch were bought on Cyber Monday at $4.95 over melt - can't get much better than that, right? One of them had a Melbourne (M) mint mark, which was an interesting surprise. For those who are interested, the mint mark, if there is one, is located on the reverse on the base of the design (not below it). You have to kind of look for it. I can't wait for the next sale to see what I get next."
