Uncirculated sovereigns are struck once and although primarily sold as an investment bullion product, they are very popular as gifts and with coin collectors.

Whilst many of our coins are brand new from The Royal Mint, they are not what we would grade as uncirculated. Many of them feature small scuffs and bag marks so whilst they are newly minted, they are not perfect.

Obverse

The obverse features the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used on sovereigns from 1998 until 2015. This portrait was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.

In 2015, two versions of the proof sovereign were produced; one with the fourth and one with the fifth portrait.

Reverse

The reverse of the coin features one of the most iconic coin designs - St George and the Dragon. It first appeared on coins in 1817 and was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci.
