2019 marked a new era in numismatic history: the mighty sovereign – one of the most famous gold coins in all corners of the globe – was spectacularly minted in .999 pure silver by The London Mint Office for the first time in history - exclusively for our collectors.
Traditionally struck in 22-carat gold, this event was a major milestone in the history of world coinage, as 500 years of tradition transformed overnight with this one-of-a-kind world’s first issue. Never before had the sovereign been struck in such a way. It was, and continues to be, our greatest privilege to have been the first in the world to bring such an exciting and exclusive opportunity to our collectors.
Minted in proof quality – the highest possible standard - the coin features Saint George’s epic battle with the dragon as re-imagined by the acclaimed artist Angela Pistrucci, and descendant of the original modern sovereign designer, Benedetto Pistrucci. The world’s first silver sovereign marked a new chapter in the 500-year story of the sovereign.
