Add a touch of regal history to your collection with the 1817–1820 Great Britain Gold Sovereign George III Circ (Random Year). Each coin is struck from .9167 fine gold (22 karats) with a weight of 0.2354 troy oz and comes in circulated condition, offering a tangible link to the reign of one of Britain’s most significant monarchs. These historic sovereigns feature the craftsmanship of the early modern Royal Mint and remain a cornerstone of British numismatic heritage.

King George III (1738–1820) ruled Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until his death, overseeing pivotal moments such as the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the early Industrial Revolution. Despite periods of ill health, his reign spanned more than six decades, making him one of Britain’s longest-serving monarchs.

The modern gold sovereign was reintroduced during George III’s rule in 1817, as part of the Great Recoinage, which standardized British currency following the Napoleonic conflicts. Benedetto Pistrucci’s now-iconic depiction of St. George and the dragon first appeared on these coins, setting a standard for elegance and precision that endures in sovereign design to this day.
