The British Sovereign coin dates back to 1489 during the reign of Henry VII. Originally valued at one pound sterling, the coin featured the monarch’s portrait on the obverse and the Tudor rose on the reverse. In 1817, George III introduced the modern Sovereign with Benedetto Pistrucci’s St. George and the Dragon design, a timeless motif still used on Sovereigns today. For the first time, The Royal Mint has released a Silver Sovereign. Right now, 2025 Proof Great Britain Silver Sovereign Coins are available from BullionMax.

The Sovereign has a storied history and became a global gold standard following its 1817 reintroduction. During the height of the British Empire in the 19th century, the Sovereign rose to prominence as a widely recognized form of currency. Over time, these coins were struck on five continents, with more than a billion Gold Sovereigns minted to date.
