We'll offer you the lowest price on the net, when you order your 2018 Royal Mint Sovereign Gold Coin from our online store today. The Royal Mint is an institution with history spanning, literally, over a millennium and, as this mint's flagship coin, it's only understandable that the Sovereign is one of the most well recognized and respected coins in the world.

The coin's reverse, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci, features a classic rendering of a mounted St. George, fearless as he slays the 'dragon of the abyss' in a thrust of his short sword. This striking feature is encapsulated in a minimal decorative frame and joined on the reverse only by the coin's year of issue.

The obverse feature is a current and beautifully rendered portrait of Elizabeth II in profile, wearing her beloved State Diadem crown. She is joined on the coin's reverse by her full regal title and encapsulated in the same light, decorative border as is seen on the reverse.

In 1489, when Henry VII instructed the Royal Mint to produce the first sovereign, St. George happened to be the patron saint of England and so he has graced the reverse of the Sovereign coin ever since. Pay homage to Britain and the glorious legends of old by fortifying your holdings with a 2018 Royal Mint Sovereign gold coin today.
