The Royal Mint in London is one of the oldest operation 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.
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.

"I love these. Good enough for James Bond in "From Russia With Love" Good enough for me :)"
"Just received my second order. Even better condition than the first. Great coin!"
"The picture for the British Sovereign shows 1922. Don't count on getting anything older than 1957. All the ones I ordered were 1957 and newer. Most looked uncirculated and several of them looked like Proofs. Very attractive and a good deal."
"Just received my first Gold Sovereign from JM. It's a beauty. 2015 fourth portrait of QE2. This portrait was only minted till end of March this year. All other 2015s will have the new fifth portrait. 2015 is the first year in over 100 that there have been two portraits used in the same year. This one is gem BU so should be worth well more than just bullion value over the years."
""depicts St. George in full battle armor"??? Besides the cape and helmet, that boy is dang near nekkid!!!"
"I have ordered these a couple of times and have not been disappointed. I received various dates, from 1923 to uncirculated 2015. This is a good affordable coin to start stacking gold, and no worries about handling, compared to softer .999 coins. I will buy more."
"Just received my coin today and was very surprised of the 1889 dated. Thank You!!! Will be purchasing additional coins when they are back in stock!!"
"Terrific buy 1899 date . MS 63 or MS 64"
"Received an absolutely mint 2015 example. Coin was brilliant, almost a proof. I believe it to be the fourth portrait variety. Flawless, brilliant. No complaints at all. Much less expensive than the competition, which will remain nameless."
"A pleasant surprise indeed to find in my well packaged box of goodies a brand spanking new 2015 Sovereign. Well done JM, i did not expect a flawless new coin. Well done. Bill"
