2017 Gold Sovereign - Elizabeth II Fifth Head

The George and Dragon design on the Sovereign has been used for 200 years - the 2017 Sovereign celebrates this with the addition of a '200' mark on the bottom left hand side of the coin. The Proof version of the 2017 Sovereign is a different this year, in that it is a replica of the 1887 Sovereign, so two Sovereign designs exist this year. Gold Sovereigns are one of the most investable and recognisable gold coins in the world - first minted over 530 years ago and used as British currency ever since. The 2017 Sovereign coin is 7.988 grams of 22-carat gold. Our supply of coins come direct from the Royal Mint.
