Gold Sovereign Search
Fill in the name or the date of production of the sovereign you wish to search for.Identifying the British Gold Sovereign
The importance of the gold sovereign lies in its collectible value and international recognition. The obverse typically features a portrait of the reigning king or queen, while the reverse displays the famous design of Saint George slaying the dragon, created by Benedetto Pistrucci. Some editions have been issued with the royal coat of arms instead.
The popularity of the gold sovereign in Greece is due to a combination of historical and cultural factors. During periods of economic instability, Greeks have often turned to gold sovereigns as a safe investment.
The continuous demand and timeless value of the gold sovereign highlight its significance. Additionally, it has become part of Greek culture, often serving as a cherished heirloom passed down through generations during special occasions such as weddings, christenings, and births.

Kings and Mints
The kings and queens depicted on the obverse of the gold sovereign, from 1817 to the present, include: George III (1817–1820), George IV (1821–1830), William IV (1831–1837), Queen Victoria (1838–1901, with three portrait types), Edward VII (1902–1910), George V (1911–1932), Queen Elizabeth II (1957–2022, with five portrait types), and now King Charles III (2022–present).
King George VI reigned from 1936 to 1952, but due to World War II, the production of gold sovereigns was halted. The mint marks, which indicate the city or country where the coin was struck, are represented by an initial.
Sovereigns minted in Australia bear the marks "S" (Sydney), "M" (Melbourne), and "P" (Perth). Other mints include South Africa ("SA"), India ("I"), and Canada ("C"). These initials are found above the date on the coin. It's worth noting that gold sovereigns minted in London do not have a mint mark.
Key Factors in Valuing Gold Sovereigns
Each sovereign is appraised by ORAGOLD experts with absolute precision and professionalism. The purchase price is determined after considering the following factors:- 1 Condition
- 2 Date
- 3 Mint
- 4 Weight
Gold sovereigns are professionally and accurately evaluated by ORAGOLD experts. If the coin is not considered collectible, its value is primarily determined by the current price of gold. In addition to the gold price, factors such as condition, weight, year of minting, and the mint mark are carefully considered when determining the final price.
One of the reasons that lead investors to choose the British gold sovereign is the fact that its authenticity cannot be questioned. Its exact dimensions make it easy to distinguish from counterfeit coins.
Specifically, the total weight of each gold sovereign is 7.99 grams, with a diameter of 22 millimeters, a thickness of 1.52 millimeters, and a purity of 22 carats. The pure gold content in each sovereign weighs 7.32 grams, or 0.235 ounces.
British Gold Sovereigns








George III
King George III (1738 - 1820) was the king of the United Kingdom and Ireland until his death in 1820. In 1817, he commissioned the Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci to design the new gold sovereign of England. Pistrucci created the depiction of Saint George and the dragon on the reverse side, a design still in use today.

Authenticating Gold Sovereigns
At ORAGOLD, we provide free authentication services for your gold sovereigns. The coin's condition is crucial in maintaining its high value. A gold sovereign with well-preserved features, free from damage or wear, will be valued at the highest possible price, unlike a coin that shows signs of wear.
We use state-of-the-art technology to verify the authenticity of your items. The year of minting and the number of coins produced (mintage) also affect the value. For example, certain sovereigns are considered rare due to their limited production and attract more interest from collectors.
Additionally, gold sovereigns should not display carat marks or any other information that differs from the official design. Extra caution is required during authentication, as there are Italian and Lebanese copies that, while usually made of gold, are not considered genuine British sovereigns.

Collectible Sovereigns
Over the years, some sovereigns have gained significant value due to their rarity. This is primarily because they were produced in limited quantities.
Some of the rarest sovereigns include: 1920 S, 1920 M, 1921 S, 1921 M, 1922 S, 1922 M, 1923 SA, 1924 SA and 1937 (London). Certain coins can be worth hundreds of thousands of euros. The authentication of gold sovereigns is managed by specific international certification bodies such as PCGS and NGC.
A classic collection of British gold sovereigns includes coins of various sizes, such as the quarter sovereign (1/4) weighing 1.99 grams, the half sovereign weighing 3.99 grams, the full sovereign weighing 7.99 grams, the double sovereign weighing 15.98 grams and the quintuple sovereign weighing 39.94 grams. Each coin is made of 22-carat gold, with such collections highly sought after by collectors and investors
