500th Anniversary of the Gold Sovereign

When the 1989 sovereigns were originally issued, they were not universally popular, and the Royal Mint failed to sell out of its entire issue limit. We believe this was because the coin was different, and many people expect and want the familiar St. George and Dragon design.

Also, the Mint have made one-off design sovereigns in 20022012, and 2017, all of which have been popular. These special issues may have contributed to the increased interest in the 1989 coins.

Ultra Cameo Coins

It's worth noting the coins are also Ultra Cameo, meaning there is a high contrast between the matte and mirror finish on the design.

Obverse

The obverse features a representation of Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation. She is seated facing on a throne and is holding the Sceptre with the Cross and the Rod with the Dove. The legend reads:

ELIZABETH II • DEI • GRA • REG • FID • DEF

Reverse

The reverse of the 1989 Elizabeth II gold sovereign mirrors its 500 year old original counterpart. The Royal Arms shield is surmounted by the royal crown, both of these images are superimposed upon a double Tudor rose. The inscription reads:

1489-1989 ANNIVERSARY OF THE GOLD SOVEREIGN

Both the reverse and the obverse designs were created by the sculptor, Bernard Sindall.
