2016 Gold Sovereign Elizabeth II Delhi Mint - India Mintmark in Blister Pack

2016 India Gold Sovereign Elizabeth II - Delhi Mint

These gold sovereign coins were struck by the Delhi Mint and contain the 'I' for India mintmark. 

The Indian Mint in Bombay only struck gold sovereigns for one single year in 1918. Starting in 2013, the Delhi Mint, in conjunction with The Royal Mint, started to produce sovereigns in order to cater for the high demand from the Indian market. The coins once again feature the "I" mintmark. 

These coins are struck from 22 carat gold, and contain 0.2354 troy ounces of the precious metal. The sovereigns are struck to a bullion finish, and each coin comes in a sealed blister pack. 

These coins are classed as British legal tender.

Bombay Mint, India

Starting in 1871, The Royal Mint used branch mints to produce sovereigns. These included Sydney, Perth and Melbourne in Australia as well as Ottawa in Canada. 

India's Bombay Mint operated as a branch mint for just one year, in 1918. This makes the 1918 I Sovereign a favourite with coin collectors.

Indian Sovereigns - 2013 Onwards

In 2013, due to the high demand for gold coins in the Indian market, Indian/Swiss companies MMTC-PAMP started to produce sovereigns at the Delhi Mint. These coins once again bear the 'I' mintmark.

Production of the coins is overseen by The Royal Mint, who are also responsible for quality control.  The coins are still classed as legal tender in the UK. 

Obverse

The obverse features the fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. 

Reverse

The reverse bears the engraving of St George and the Dragon by Italian sculptor, Benedetto Pistrucci.

The 'I' mintmark can be found above the date.
