Data sheet
Sovereign has been associated with the British monarchy since 1489, more than five centuries ago. Henry VII. he then called for "new gold money" to demonstrate the wealth and power of the new Tudor dynasty after the Battle of Bosworth, and the coin therefore required a name that exuded majesty and authority. Each successive Tudor monarch, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I, continued to issue sovereigns throughout their reigns until the Stuart King James I ascended the throne.
The reverse features the iconic Saint George and the Dragon - a design by Benedetto Pistrucci.
The obverse features an official mint portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.
The coin weighs 7.99 g, is of proof quality, which is among the best commemorative coins produced by the Royal Mint. Supplied in a case with certificate.
