The British sovereign gold coin program spans over 200 years. Interestingly, the Gold Double Sovereign coin technically dates back to 1485 when larger Gold Sovereign coins were minted. These were possibly used only as presentation issues in the piedfort style since these early pieces were never released for circulation. However, the Double Sovereigns were first minted in 1820, as designed by Benedetto Pistrucci under King George III’s reign. Again, this never entered circulation, and this was considered a pattern coin since it served as a precursor to the modern £2 coin. The British Royal Mint issued a 2020 edition of the British sovereign gold coin to celebrate the 200th anniversary of this coin’s strike and followed with the 2021 issue. Now, in 2022, the Royal Mint honors Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy with this gorgeous Five Sovereign Piece.

The obverse of this Gold Sovereign displays the royal bust of Queen Elizabeth II adorned with her regal crown. Designed by Jody Clark, this portrait is the fifth and final version of Queen Elizabeth’s image on the British currency.

The reverse of this British sovereign gold coin, in a rare design change from St. George on horseback, showcases artist Timothy Noad’s reinterpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms.
