The Half-Sovereign Gold Coin
Revived in 1817 following the Napoleonic Wars, The Sovereign has earned its status as the 'chief coin of the world.' Crafted from 22 carat gold and precisely measured to four decimal places, it is a symbol of trust and prestige wherever it’s recognized. The 2020 Sovereign showcases Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic portrayal of St George and the dragon – a design that has become inseparable from this flagship coin.
This year’s release marks a special milestone – the 200th anniversary of the first modern Double-Sovereign. This larger format offered renowned engravers like Pistrucci and William Wyon the space to fully express their creativity. To commemorate the occasion, we’re introducing the Double-Sovereign to our bullion collection for the very first time.
