More Info

Previously, gold coins called 'Sovereigns' had been minted on and off between 1489-1604, whereupon James I (VI) changed the name of the 20/- gold piece to a 'Unite'. The reform coinage Sovereign of 1817 onwards was issued as a normal circulation type coin, and also as a proof.

Obverse

The obverse bears the George III laureate head. This portrait was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci, who also designed the St George reverse. 

Reverse

The reverse of the coin features the crowned shield design by Wyon.
