Sovereign Coin

Sovereign Coin

The Sovereign is an English gold coin that was first struck by the King of England Henry VII in 1489. But it was only in 1816, after the victory over Napoleon,

that the government British regularly issued the gold coin. A ruler weighs 7,988 g and measures 22.05 mm in diameter. Its weight of fine gold is 7.317 g. Sovereigns are among the most widespread coins in the world and are reputed to be very safe.

Besides the sovereigns, the Royal Mint Sovereign produced several other currencies, such as the coins of Demi-Sovereigns (10 shillings), Double-Sovereigns (two pounds) and Quintuple-Sovereigns (five pounds). Only Sovereigns and half-Sovereigns were commonly struck for currency circulation.
