The coin features a milled edge, and each specimen is offered in an individual wooden presentation case together with a certificate of authenticity from The Royal Mint.

The Royal Mint Heritage

The Gold Sovereign is one of the most recognizable coins of the United Kingdom. The combination of 22-karat gold, centuries-old minting tradition, and the historic motif by Benedetto Pistrucci makes the 2027 edition an attractive choice for both collectors and enthusiasts of classic British numismatics.

Obverse and Reverse of the Coin

Obverse depicts the left-facing portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, surrounded by the Latin legend “CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF”. Along the rim, the design is complemented by classic beading.

Reverse features the famous scene of Saint George on horseback slaying the dragon, based on Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1817 design. The composition is completed by the year of issue “2027” and the designer’s signature, emphasizing the historic character of the Sovereign series.
