Victoria Sovereigns

As with many older sovereigns, availability can be quite variable, particularly in better condition. Often we come across small batches of sovereigns, all of a particular date and mintmark, so that we have an abundant supply while stocks last, then we may not see another similar batch for years.

Obverse

The obverse of the gold sovereign coin shows the jubilee portrait of Queen Victoria, designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm.

Reverse

The reverse of the sovereign features the classic St George and the Dragon designed by Benedetto Pistrucci.
