This rare 1918-I India Gold Sovereign Coin NGC MS 64 contains .2354 of gold, it is 22 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in thickness. This unique coin tends to be highly collectible since it was struck in the reign of King George V.  These coins are considered collectible artifacts of Biritsh history and were minted since the late fifteenth century.

King George V saw his role as monarch to embody those qualities his far-flung subjects saw as their greatest strengths - diligence, dignity & duty. King George V was the only monarch whose effigy appeared on sovereigns from all seven mints. George reigned during the height of the Royal Mint's reach, but the tumultuous events of World War I, the collapse of the international monetary system and the demise of the gold standard meant that he would be the last King to grace the sovereign .

The Bombay Mint, dating from 1672, is one of the oldest mints in Asia and produced coins for the East India Company and later administrations down to the present day. A gold refinery was established in 1918, expressly for the purpose of refining the South African gold. A suitable structure, designated as a branch of the Royal Mint in London, was erected in the Bombay Mint compound, but completely isolated from the mint, for the specific purpose of converting South African and recycled Indian gold into sovereigns.

The coin's face value, along with its amazing appearance, makes it a great option for both collectors and investors. Like all of our other gold coins, this one is guaranteed to be 100% authentic. Item will be wrapped and packaged safe for delivery.
